=AVERAGEIFS(ForecastData[Forecasted Sales], ForecastData[Month-Year], "<="&CurrentMonth, ForecastData[Month-Year], ">="&DATE(YEAR(CurrentYear), MONTH(CurrentMonth)-6, 1)) * (1 + SeasonalityFactor) - Forecast Variance:
=Forecasted Sales - Sales Target - Variance %:
=IF(Sales Target=0, "N/A", (Forecast Variance / ABS(Sales Target))) - Total Monthly Debt Cost:
=Monthly Repayment + (Outstanding Balance * Interest Rate / 12) - Net Cash Flow (Dashboard):
=SUM(Sales Forecast[Forecasted Sales]) - SUM(Debt Budget[Total Monthly Debt Cost])
