Sheet Names

Table Structures & Column Definitions

All data tables use a standardized structure to ensure consistency and ease of analysis:

Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel’s powerful formula engine to ensure real-time accuracy and automation:

• =B5 - C5: Calculates Gross Profit in each row.
• =D5 / B5: Computes Profit Margin as a percentage (after multiplying by 100).
• =SUMIFS(Revenue, Status, "Active"): Sums only active project revenues.
• =AVERAGEIF(Profit Margin, ">20%", Profit Margin): Identifies average profitability of high-performing projects.
• =COUNTIFS(Status,"Completed", Date, "<="&"[Today]"): Counts completed projects up to current date.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve data interpretation and alert users to outliers or trends:

• Profit Margin Highlighting: Cells with profit margin <10% are highlighted in red; >30% in green.
• Negative Profit Indicators: Red background when gross profit is negative (loss).
• Status-Based Color Coding: Active → Blue, On Hold → Yellow, Completed → Gray.
• Outlier Detection: Automatic flagging of revenue entries exceeding 3 standard deviations from the average.
