Greetings,
Does anyone know if there is a formula to automate RYG based on Variance? I am trying to track budget (not dates). I would like to show Red balls when a task is over budget.
Any ideas on the formula?
Thank you!
I think there are a variety of ways to accomplish what you are trying to do. Are you trying to figure variance on a row by row basis or by sum total of the entire budget for the sheet like for a roll-up?
Here are two examples of formulas you could use:
Row by Row: =IF(Actual@row > Budget@row, "Red", "Green")
Sum of Columns: =IF(SUM(Actual:Actual) > SUM(Budget:Budget), "Red", "Green")
You can see both of them at work in my screenshot below. Right click on it to open it in a new window. You can see the item flagging red, while the overall budget is still on track. Hope that helps!
Did this solution work for you?

When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
