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?

The sheet supports samples that are analytically tested. The user chooses which tests they want to conduct for each sample on the…
