Formulas and Calculations
The template includes a robust set of formulas to automate financial calculations:- Gross Profit: = (Total Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold) → Auto-calculated using SUM formulas on designated rows.
- Operating Income: = Gross Profit - Total Operating Expenses → Uses cell references from calculated sections.

- Moving Averages: 3-month and 6-month rolling averages for revenue and EBITDA to identify trends.
- Monthly Growth Rate: =(Current Month - Previous Month)/Previous Month → Used in dashboard trend charts.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual interpretation and highlight key performance signals:- Budget Variance: Red text for negative variances, green for positive, with fill color using a scale (red → yellow → green).
- Gross Margin %: Conditional formatting based on threshold (e.g., below 30% = red; 30–45% = yellow; above 45% = green).

- Top/Bottom 10 Items: Highlight the top-performing revenue lines and highest cost categories using color scales.
