Table Structures and Column Definitions

The Data Input sheet contains a structured table with the following columns:

• Date: Date type (Date/Time). Used for time-based analysis and filtering. Data type: DATE.

• Department: Organizational unit responsible for the transaction. Text field with dropdown list (e.g., Sales, R&D, Admin).
• Employee ID: Optional field to link expenses/revenues to specific personnel. Used in productivity tracking.
• Status: Transaction status (e.g., Pending, Completed). Data type: TEXT with predefined options.

The Income Statement (Main) sheet aggregates data from the Input Sheet and includes:

• Revenue: Sum of all revenue entries.
• Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): Sum of direct production costs.
• Gross Profit: Revenue minus COGS. Automatically calculated via formula.
• Operating Expenses: Sum of all operational costs (e.g., salaries, rent, marketing).
<2>Operating Income: Gross profit minus operating expenses.
• Taxes: Predefined tax rate applied to operating income. Formula-based (e.g., 25% default).
• Net Income: Final bottom-line figure (Operating Income – Taxes). Auto-calculated.
• Profit Margin (%): Net Income / Revenue × 100. Automatically derived.
• Productivity Ratio (Units per Employee): Derived from output/employee hours. Added to support Productivity Improvement goals.

Formulas Required

All financial calculations are automated using standard Excel functions:

• =SUMIFS(Amount, Category, "Sales"): Sum revenue by category.
• =SUMIFS(Amount, Category, "Salaries"): Calculate labor cost.
• =B2 - C2 (Revenue – COGS) → Gross Profit.
• =C2 + D2 + E2 → Total Operating Expenses.
• =Gross Profit - (Gross Profit * 0.25) → Net Income (after 25% tax).
• =IF(Profit Margin < 10%, "Low", IF(Profit Margin < 20%, "Moderate", "High")): Conditional rating for efficiency.
• =COUNTIFS(Employee ID, "*", Status, "Completed") / COUNTA(Employee ID): Productivity metric (output per employee).

Each formula is validated to prevent errors and ensures data integrity. All formulas are documented in the Formulas & Validation sheet with comments for transparency.

Conditional Formatting

• Profit Margin Highlighting: Green if >15%, Yellow if 10–15%, Red if <10% — supports immediate identification of productivity bottlenecks.
• Negative Expenses: Any amount below zero is highlighted in red with a warning icon.
• High-Value Transactions: Amounts over $10,000 are marked in orange for review.
