Formulas Required
The template leverages Excel formulas to automate calculations and ensure data integrity:

- Positive Net Increases (in green): Positive totals are highlighted with light green backgrounds.
- Bubble-Style Trend Indicators: Small icons (up/down arrows) next to period columns show trend direction based on month-over-month change.
- Threshold Alerts: If cash flow drops below a user-defined threshold (e.g., -10% of average), cells flash yellow.
