Formulas Required

The template uses simple, easy-to-understand formulas that can be applied by non-technical team members:

• =SUM(C3:C100) – Sums all revenue entries.
• =SUM(D3:D100) – Sums all expenses.
• =E2 - F2 – Calculates net profit for the entire dataset.
• =AVERAGEIFS(E3:E100, B3:B100, ">&="&DATE(2024,1,1)) – Averages daily profit over a date range.
• =MAX(C3:C100) – Identifies the highest revenue project.
• =COUNTIF(E3:E100, ">0") – Counts profitable entries only.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and alert team members to key data points, conditional formatting is applied:

• Profit/Loss Column (Red if negative): Cells turn red if the value is below zero, signaling a loss.
• High Profit Highlight (Green if > $1000): Entries with profit exceeding $1,000 are highlighted in green.
• Top Project Indicator: The row of the project with the highest profit is shaded in light blue.
• Missing Data Warnings: If a date field is blank, a warning icon appears (using conditional text).
