Table Structures and Columns (Employee Performance Log)

This sheet contains a structured table that serves as the backbone of the Profit Tracker. The table is formatted as an Excel Table (Ctrl+T), enabling dynamic expansion and formula consistency.

Formulas Required

• Total Costs: = [Revenue Generated] - [Direct Costs] - [Indirect Costs Allocation]
• Profit Margin (%): = IF([Revenue Generated]>0, (SUM([Revenue Generated]) - SUM([Total Costs])) / SUM([Revenue Generated]), 0)
• Monthly Revenue by Employee: Use SUMIFS to aggregate revenue per employee and month.
• Departmental Profit Sum: Use SUMIF with the Department column as the criteria.
• Average Profit Margin by Team: Combine AVERAGEIFS and conditional logic to calculate team performance averages.

Conditional Formatting

• Profit Margin Color Scale: Red (below 10%), Yellow (10%–30%), Green (above 30%) to highlight strong, average, or weak performance.
• Revenue Highlight: If a task generates revenue above $5,000, the cell background turns blue.
• Cost Overrun Warning: If total costs exceed 75% of revenue for a task, the row turns orange to flag inefficiency.
• Date Reminders: Tasks completed more than 30 days ago are highlighted in gray to prompt review or archiving.
