Table Structures and Data Types

The core data structure is built around a relational model to ensure consistency and dynamic reporting:

Key Formulas Required

• Monthly Savings Summary: In the Dashboard, use `=SUMIFS(DailySavingsEntries!B:B, DailySavingsEntries!A:A, ">= "&DATE(2024,1,1), DailySavingsEntries!A:A,"<="&EOMONTH(DATE(2024,1,1),0))` to calculate total savings per month.
• Progress Percentage: In the Goals & Objectives sheet, use `=IF(B2=0,"N/A",C2/B2)` to show percentage of goal achieved.
• Monthly Performance Average: `=AVERAGEIFS(PerformanceMetrics!B:B, PerformanceMetrics!C:C, ">=10")` for scoring above threshold.
• Automated Goal Alert: Use `=IF(C2 - B2 > 0.1*B2, "Goal Ahead", IF(C2 - B2 < 0.1*B2, "On Track", "Needs Improvement"))` to trigger status messages.
• Running Balance: In Savings Log, use `=SUM($B$2:B2)` to accumulate daily savings with a cumulative balance column.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Savings Amount Highlighting: Apply green background if savings > $500/month; yellow if between $300–500; red if negative or overdrawn.
• Goal Progress Bar: In Goals & Objectives sheet, use a data bar conditional format to visually represent progress (e.g., 75% complete = 75% filled).
• Performance Score Color Coding: Red for score <60, Yellow for 60–79, Green for ≥80.
• Overdue Alerts: Highlight rows where "TargetDate" is in the past using a red font and border.
