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?
I've created a dashboard with multiple graphs using data from the same report. I have added the report to the dashboard as well and set up the filter for use in the dashboard. Is this filter transferable to the graphs as well, given i can filter the report in the dashboard?
Dear Community, Can you please advise? I have a sheet where among other columns I have a column listing contacts "Champions" (multiple per cell) the other columns are for example: Countries (a list of 72) The list of Projects (approx 15) - I can add to that sheet, or I can create in a Helper Sheet. I haven't done that yet…
Looking for assistance again, I want to bring in the % complete from the Production sheet to the Schedule sheet, but once the % complete is 100 the data is moved to another sheet, so I would like to reference to check 1 sheet for percent complete and if it is not there check the second sheet. Schedule sheet: Pick Up Date…
