Data Types and Formulas Required

All data columns are designed to accept numeric values (currency format). The template includes the following dynamic formulas:

Total Operating Cash Flow: =SUM(B4:B7)
Total Investing Cash Flow: =SUM(B9:B12)
Total Financing Cash Flow: =SUM(B14:B17)
Net Cash Flow: =B8+B13+B18
Closing Cash Balance: =B20+B25 (where B20 is Opening Balance)
Variance Analysis (vs. Forecast): =IF(B19<C19, "Over Budget", IF(B19=C19, "On Target", "Under Budget"))

All formulas are applied dynamically across the entire table using absolute and relative cell referencing to ensure scalability for 24+ months of data.

Negative values in red with bold text (e.g., cash outflows, losses).
