=D3 - E3 - Net Profit After Tax:
=H3 - I3 - Profit Margin (%):
=IF(B3=0, 0, (J3/B3)*100) - Rolling 12-Month Total Revenue:
=SUM(OFFSET(B$2, ROW()-ROW($B$2)-11, 0, 12)) - Forecast Growth Rate (MoM):
=IF(B3="","",IF(B2="",(B3-B3)/B3,(B3-B2)/B2)) - Note: All formulas are designed to work dynamically across 12 months, with row references automatically adjusting.
