You would need to set up a helper column (flag type in this example) and then use a basic comparison IF statement to flag any rows where the savings goes below the target. From there you would set up your conditional formatting and automation to trigger based on this column being flagged.
=IF([2023 Calendar Savings]@row< [2023 Budget Target]@row, 1)
