Analyst Notes & Instructions for Excel/Google Sheets

  1. Formulas:
    • Difference: Use =C2-D2 (Budget - Actual).
    • Allocation %: Use =C2/SUM($C$2:$C$11) to calculate the weight of each category.
  2. Pie Chart Implementation:
    • Highlight the "Summary Dashboard" table above to generate your Pie Chart.
    • The "Pie Chart Segment" column in the main table is used to group data for pivot table generation if you wish to drill down deeper.
  3. Data Validation: Ensure "Actual Spent" is updated weekly to maintain variance accuracy.
