I create alot of financial models at work and I typically use the
following font color codes so that I can better audit the model later. Row & Column Headings Always Black Blue: Hard Number Input Black: Calculation Green: Hard Number Input used as a driver of the model Purple: Link to another sheet or workbook Red: Formula and a hard input number in it. Example (=A1 + 5) I am trying to figure out a way to create a function that either always updates based on they type of input in a cell or that I can just use a shortcut key that goes throught the sheet to update all the cells. I currently define a name called FormulaInCell =GET.CELL(48,INDIRECT("rc",FALSE))and then just select all cells and use conditional formatting to make that black and it colors all formulas black. However I would like it to be more robust so that it covers the situations mentioned above. There must be a way to do it, but I just can't seem to figure one out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Will As an example: 2001 2002 2003 2004E 2005E Sales 100.0 110.0 120.0 129.0 137.4 Sales Growth 7.0% 10.0% 9.1% 7.5% 6.5% Profit 52.0 53.0 58.0 60.6 63.9 Profit Margin 52.0% 48.2% 48.3% 47.0% 46.5% In this model: 2001-2003 Sales are Blue because they are hard coded inputs 2001-2003 Growth is Black because it is a formula 2001-2003 Profit is Purple because it is linked from another sheet 2001-2003 Profit Margin is Black because it is a formula 2004E-2005E sales are black and calculated as previous years sales * (1+ sales growth) 2004E-2005E Growth is hardcoded, but green because it drives the sales number 2004E-2005E Profit is Black and calculated as Sales * Profit Margin 2004E-2005E Profit Margin is Red Because it is calculated as the previous years profit margin + .1% |
