Well, here’s where we’re going to go today: ‘stoplights’, or red color coding, for unfavorable budget variances. You do know we’re going to Excel for this, right?
Here’s the initial budget variance report in FRx, and I’ll explain some of the primary concepts, then we’ll flip over to Excel for the fun color coding part. (OK, conditional formatting.) Read More »
