• Savings Goals: User-defined savings objectives with timelines, target amounts, and current progress.

Table Structures and Data Types

Each table is designed with relational integrity to support data consistency, traceability, and analysis. Below are the key tables:

Savings Goals Table (Savings Goals Sheet)

Data types include: numeric (amounts, dates), text (descriptions, IDs), and categorical (status, risk level).

Risk Register Table (Risk Register Sheet)

This table uses a risk matrix approach (impact × probability) to prioritize risks and allocate mitigation resources effectively.

Formulas Required

• Savings Progress % (Savings Overview): =IF([Current Balance] > 0, ([Current Balance]/[Target Amount]), 0)
• Risk Score (Risk Register): =Impact × Probability (weighted score for prioritization).
• Monthly Contribution Forecast: In Scenario Analysis, uses SUMIFS to calculate projected savings based on variable inputs.
• Auto-Updates in Dashboard: Uses dynamic array formulas (e.g., XLOOKUP) and VLOOKUP for cross-sheet data retrieval.
• Conditional Status Tags: IF(Progress % > 0.9, "On Track", IF(Progress % > 0.5, "Monitoring", "At Risk"))

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Risk Levels (Risk Register): Red for Level 5; Yellow for Level 4; Green for Levels 1–3.
• Savings Progress Bars (Savings Overview): Gradient fill from green to red based on progress percentage.
• Warning Alerts: Highlight any goal with risk exposure ≥4 or progress below 20% in yellow.
• Auto-Color Coding for Status: Green for "Completed", Amber for "In Progress", Red for "At Risk".

The user is advised to:

1. Enter or import all savings goals into the “Savings Goals” sheet with accurate dates and target values.

3. Review the Risk Register monthly to assess and update impact/probability ratings based on real-world events.
