Key Formulas & Calculations

The template uses dynamic formulas to automate financial calculations and ensure data integrity:

Profit Before Tax: =IF(OR(B2="",C2=""), "", D2 - E2 - F2)
Net Profit Margin: =IF(D2=0, 0, (G2/D2)*100)
Daily Revenue Total: =SUMIFS(D:D, A:A, TODAY())
Daily COGS Total: =SUMIFS(E:E, A:A, TODAY())
Moving 7-Day Average Profit: =AVERAGE(OFFSET(G2,-6,0,7,1))

All formulas are protected and applied across the entire column to maintain consistency.

Net Profit Margin: Green if ≥ 15%, Yellow if between 8%–14%, Red if < 8%.
Daily Profit Before Tax: Light green for positive values, light red for negative values.
