Table Structures and Data Types

Formulas Required

This template relies on a robust set of Excel formulas for accuracy and automation:

• =SUMIFS(Revenue!E:E, DataInput!A:A, "Sales"): Aggregates sales revenue from specific departments.
• =C2 - D2: Calculates gross profit (revenue minus COGS).
• =SUM(E4:E10): Sums all operating expenses in the Cost Breakdown table.
• =G4 - H4: EBITDA = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses.
• =I4 * 0.25: Tax calculation (25% of EBITDA).
• =J4 - I4: Net Income = EBITDA – Taxes.
• =IF(K4 > 0, "Positive", "Negative"): Conditional indicator for profit status.
• =COUNTIFS(TeamContributions!B:B, A2): Tracks how many times a team member has contributed.

Conditional Formatting

The template applies conditional formatting to enhance visibility and decision-making:

• Profit Status Highlighting: Cells in the Net Income column turn green if positive (>0), red if negative, and yellow if within 5% of breakeven.
• High-Expense Flags: Any expense >20% of total revenue is highlighted in orange with a warning message.
• Team Contribution Score: Cells in the Team Contributions sheet change color based on activity: green (active), yellow (inactive), red (no updates in 7 days).
• Outlier Detection: Revenue or expense entries that deviate more than 15% from average are highlighted.
• Data Entry Validation: Blank cells or negative values trigger a red background and prompt user to verify entry.
