The template uses a combination of built-in Excel functions to automate calculations and forecasting:- Sales Forecasting Dashboard:
=FORECAST.LINEAR(Month, ActualSalesRange, MonthDateRange): Predicts future revenue using linear regression.=IFERROR((ProjectedSales - ActualSales)/ProjectedSales,"N/A"): Calculates variance percentage with error handling.=SUMIFS(...)functions to aggregate sales by month/region/product from the Monthly Sales Data sheet.
- Maintenance Log:
=IF(ActualDate<>"", ActualDate-ScheduledDate, "Pending"): Calculates delay in maintenance completion.=LaborCost + PartsCost: Sum of labor and parts for total cost.
- Impact Adjustment:
=MAX(0, MIN(100, DowntimeDays * 2.5)): Assumed impact rate of 2.5% per day of downtime (adjustable).- This value feeds into the forecast model to reduce projected sales during high-downtime months.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
To enhance readability and highlight critical data:- Sales Variance: Red text for negative variance (>5% under forecast), green for over-forecast (positive variance).
- Maintenance Downtime: Orange background if downtime > 3 days; red if >7 days.
- Total Maintenance Cost: Highlight in yellow if cost exceeds average of last 3 months.
- Forecast Adjustment Flag: If Impact Factor > 10%, apply a bold border and blue text to indicate high impact.
