Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to automate calculations:

• Variance Calculation: =Actual Value - Budgeted Value in "Actuals vs. Budget" sheet.
• Variance Percentage: =IF(Budgeted Value=0,0,(Actual Value - Budgeted Value)/Budgeted Value)
• Total Departmental Spend: =SUMIFS(Budget Amount) across all categories per department.
• Moving Average Forecast: Uses AVERAGE of previous 3 months' data to predict next month.
• KPI Completion %: =IF(Actual Value=0,0,Actual Value / Target Value)
• Conditional Summing: SUMIFS with multiple criteria for budget allocation filtering by department and category.

Conditional Formatting

To improve data interpretation, conditional formatting is applied in key areas:

• Variance Highlighting: Red if variance > 10%, Green if < -5%, Yellow if between -5% and +10%.
• Performance Flags: Green (on target), Orange (slightly off), Red (below target).
• Budget Alerts: Cells where actual exceeds 120% of budget turn red with warning text.
• KPI Progress Bars: Using data bars in the "Performance Metrics Tracker" to visually represent progress.
