Formulas and Automation
This template leverages Excel's power with key formulas:
- Budget Remaining (Sheet 1):
=B3 - SUMIF('Budget Tracker'!A:A, "Flights", 'Budget Tracker'!C:C) - Variance % (Sheet 3):
=IF(Planned=0, "N/A", (Variance/Planned)*100) - Progress Status Indicator (Sheet 4): Uses IF and AND logic to validate dates and dependencies.
- Dashboards (Sheet 7): Dynamic charts using SUMIFS, COUNTIF, and INDEX-MATCH to pull data from all sheets in real time.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red text for budget variances > +10%
- Yellow highlight for tasks with overdue dates
- Green fill for completed tasks or confirmed activities (Sheet 2 & 4)
- Status column colors: Red = Not Started, Amber = In Progress, Green = Completed
- Conditional Gantt bars (in Sheet 7) change color based on progress percentage
