Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to maintain accuracy and reduce manual input errors: - **Gross Profit**: `=Revenue - COGS` - **Operating Income (EBIT)**: `=Gross Profit - SUM(Selling & Marketing, G&A, R&D)` - **Net Profit**: `=Operating Income – Interest – Taxes` - **Forecasted Revenue Growth**: Uses a percentage input from the "Assumptions" sheet and applies it to prior month’s revenue using `=Previous_Month_Revenue * (1 + Monthly_Growth_Rate)` - **COGS as % of Revenue**: Formula in cell `COGS` row: `=Revenue * [COGS_Percent_Input]` from the assumptions sheet. - **Conditional Profit Alerts**: Uses nested IF statements to flag negative net profits.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight financial health: - **Positive Net Profit Cells**: Green background with dark green text (if > 0). - **Negative Net Profit Cells**: Red background with white bold text (if < 0). - **Growth Rate Variance from Target**: If actual growth deviates by more than ±5% from forecast, cells turn yellow. - **Trend Arrows** on monthly changes: Small upward/downward arrows displayed based on month-over-month change using Excel's built-in icon sets.
