Financial Modeling Spreadsheet Standards
Mar 14, 2008
In my efforts to improve worksheet readability across the board at my work I am researching spreadsheet standards. I have found the Spreadsheet standards review board http://www.ssrb.org/index.html that has a massive document containing valuable standards to adhere to for financial modeling. Since I learn best by example, I am wondering what standards any of you guys are using and if possible post a sample spreadsheet containing those standards.

I have an excel question on how to create a table that will be able to compare actual results with our estimated results.
Basically, the column I have in blue in the attached excel file contains our estimates. Once the actual numbers come out, we will replace those numbers with actual numbers.
I would like to create a table that will automatically show the magnitude of the impact of the actual numbers vs our results -- basically how much each item added or subtracted from EPS.
The items I would like to show the impact of are:
(1) The tax rate -- how much the actual tax rate impacted EPS vs. our estimate. For example - if it was a lower tax rate there may be a $0.03 benefit.
(2) interest expense line - more/less interest..what the impact of that is.
(3) non-recurring items
(4) Share count - a lower share count or a higher share count than we anticipated - what the effect on EPS is.
For each item though, every other item should be held constant. So if looking at tax rate -- then use the actual interest expense and the actual shares.. and if looking at shares...compare that to our estimate but use the actual tax rate reported and the actual interest expense....
There should then be a sum total of these items +/- impact to EPS.

I am trying to model the distribution of cash flows from a real estate investment. This is a bit complicated, but basically A1 through A37 are a series of cash flows after payment of debt service from month 0 (closing) to month 36. The real estate project has two investors, the Institutional Investor and the Developer. In this case, the Institutional Investor contributes 90% of the required project equity and the developer contributes the remaining 10%. The cash flow is distributed according to a set of parameters specifying cash flow percentage allocations and IRR targets, collectively known as a "cash flow waterfall"." As with all for-sale residential development deals, the early cash flows are negative and then turn positive as unit sales occur. The order of distribution of the cash flow remaining after debt service is paid is as follows (the waterfall):
1. Both investors receive the return of their invested capital from cash flow distributions.
1. Hurdle 1 (after the return of equity to both investors), the Institutional Investor receives 90% of the monthly cash flows and the Developer 10%, proportional to their respective overall equity contributions, until both investors achieve a 12% IRR (all IRR's to be calculated from deal inception/first dollar invested).
2. Hurdle 2, (after Hurdle 1 is satisfied), the Institutional Investor receives 60% of the monthly cash flows until the Institutional Investor achieves an 18% IRR.
3. The Final Split (after satisfying Hurdle 2) allocates monthly cash flow 50% to each investor.
On an overall project basis, the Developer should realize a disproportionate share of the cash flow after the second hurdle is hit. This is what is known as the "promote." The most recent 36 month (37 including Closing) projected cash flows are as follows:
($1,315,567) - Closing
($113,697) - Month 1
($178,397)
($168,667)
($150,365)
($36,506)
$16,662
$120,283
$107,443
$107,443
I realize this is complicated, but this structure is quite common to real estate, private equity, venture capital and hedge fund investments (along with most any joint venture deals with multiple classes of equity participants). The canned software that is out there that performs this type of anlysis is both expensive and rigid, and doesn't typically enable the required sensitivity analysis in structuring a deal.

I am attempting to compare S1 & S2 (samples) to guideline values (guide1 and guide 2).
If Guide 1 value is exceeded I would like it highlighted and if guide 2 is exceeded I would like the same cell to be have the font colour changed.
The Sample values that have < signs are currently being highlighted as an exceedance. I'd like them to obviously not be highlighted as they are not an exceedance of the guideline values.Needhelp.xlsx

I want to plot a graph where our customers can compare their results against our standards. (line graph) This has been easy in the past but rather than just having a single value as the standard we now a range for each standard a minimum value and a maximum value. How can i get both the minimum value and the maximum value plotted on the chart? This would be two lines with the area between the standards shaded in. The customers could then plot their results to compare against our standards?

I have created a monster formula that extracts the Australian financial year (FYR) from a date string and would like to convert the formula to a nice tidy function.
the formula works on a date string with the following format: yyyy-mm-dd (2008-12-15)
for example the formula result for 2008-12-15 is 08/09 (yy/yy)
=IF(OR(LEFT(ExDate,1)+13,MID(ExDate,5,1)"-",MID(ExDate,8,1)"-",LEN(ExDate)10),"Change the expiry date format to yyyy-mm-dd",
IF(OR(MID(ExDate,3,1)+1=1,MID(ExDate,3,2)+1=11),
IF((MID(ExDate,6,2)+1)

I'm looking for a VBA code which will review the date in column C, which is in the format DD/MM/YYYY, and convert it to a financial year in column D.
So... given a financial year April to March what i think i'm looking for is...
If the month is 04 to 12 then column D should display = Current Year / Current Year + 1
If the month is 01 to 03 then column D should display = Current Year - 1 / Current Year
I need column D to be in the format XX/XX ie 10/11 for the period April 2010 to March 2011. I need the code to work from row 2 to the last used row based on data entered in column E.

I work on graphics which show financial data. The base is day data together with calculated added values the graphic worked and showed good pictures.
But now I encountered a problem with the graph - related to not listed days, points are "generated" which do not be in line with the rest of the data !?

I have a spreadsheet that consists of date, product number with amount received against each date.
What I need are formulas that will automatically provide me with:
1. The sub-total monthly income for each product against each financial year.
2. Total income for each product by financial year.
3. Total income for each financial year.

i have to compare two financial reports from two different sources each and it should derive the same result.
I am still working on it and only focus on Column C & D. However, i have come across some problems and hope that these milestones can be cleared so that i can move on to another step to achieve my goal.
So, my current problem is
1) #N/A (eg Cell D9 & D32) will be resulted when hlookup function is used. Since the workbook 'CB_Consol_2009' does not have the same name appear, how can i make the answer become '-' instead of #N/A when hlookup function is being used?
2) Double counting. The same name appears more than one time (eg CURRENT ACCOUNTS-RET_ (01#0505_01) and as such, its figures also calculating more than once. Is there a way to calculate the figure only once so that i come out with the correct grand total?
As my objective is to compare two financial reports results (which should be the same), this is the table i can think of. If anyone here have any constructive comment on my current format.

I have a tab that has rows with line items from a financial report (the items start with unique identifier numbers) and the tab also has historical monthly data for each of these items. I now have a new tab with the same line items but they are now in a different order. Is there a formula that I can use to copy all of the data from the old tab into the corresponding monthly line item in the new tab? Nothing changes except for the order of the rows.
Also, at the top of the old tab, there are totals that grab from each of the rows below. If I copy these formulas into the new tab, I think that they will reference the incorrect rows (as the order has changed) Is there any way to transfer these formulas and keep the linkage intact?

How do I calculate/display the financial year for a given date? For instance if my source cell has 25/11/2006 how do I get the result cell to show 2006/07 (or 06/07, 2006/2007, etc).
I've tried a Text() function but the best 'format_text' I could come up with was "yyyy/yyyy+1", which not only doesn't work, but would be wrong if the source date was in the second half of the financial year.

I'm researching a load of financial data downloaded for me from Bloomberg. It lists daily prices of 15 commodities for nearly 20 years in some cases! Its far too much data to get anything worthwhile out of, so I'd like to know if any of you guys have used or know what the VBA is to write a macro that will reduce all the data from daily to monthly. (ie. I want a macro that will allow me to quickly delete all data corresponding to dates which are NOT the end of the month).

I'm completely new with macros. I was wondering what you would need so that the information will automatically update itself onto a summary page. For example for entries on one worksheet to create a statement on another worksheet?
Example:
Asset Type
Description
Date
Amount
OA
[Code]....
The first entry doesn't have a date, because the asset type is classified as OA. (therefore an exception) Each of this information will be linked to it's own worksheet. For example, the OA entries would create their own sheet which will summed.

I have a sheet with following columns
Zones Month Revenue
Zone1 Apr-05 1111
Zone2 Apr-05 2222
Zone3 Apr-05 1222
Zone1 May-05 1451
Zone2 May-05 452
Zone3 May-05 4622
Zone1 Jun-05 891
Zone2 Jun-05 255
Zone3 Jun-05 1555
and so on all zones revenue each month.
I am learning Pivot table and struck at a point.
I am able to do simple pivot table but now want the following result
1. All the three zones in row fields.
2. Months in column field.
3. Revenue and running total of revenue (progressive sum) for all the months of desired financial years. ( I can get revenue and running total separately but I want these in alternate columns ie Revenue Apr-05, Revenue upto Apr-05, Revenue May-05, Revenue upto May-05 and so on)
Also how to get data for desired financial year only as 2005-06 (Apr-05 to March 06) or 06-07 (Apr-06 to Oct-06)?

Excel 2010. I set up a trial balance as following:
1/31/2000 2/28/2000 3/31/2000 ------- 12/31/2012
Acct # 1
Acct # 2
Acct # 3
Acct # 4
I was able to use pivot table to set up the balance sheet and income statement.
1. now each month is a field which I can choose to add to the report, but the field list is getting too long (and growing). Is there a way I can insert 1 field (for the user to input the exact date) or 2 fields (to input year and month) and the pivot table can pick up the input and refresh either automatically or manually.
2. I looked into the "group" function in pivot table, but how do I group the above data in quarterly and yearly fashion so the user can get those information quickly?

I m trying to write a formula for my financial model. If anyone can take a stab at a solution. I'm trying to write a formula that will equally distribute revenue either over the next 1 month, 2 month or 3 month period depending on size of the deal.
Details:
Sales will fit in 1 of 3 categories. Less than 25k; between 25k & 100k; greater than 100k.
- if under $25K, recognize in next month (month N+ 1)
- $25K-100K, recognize in two equal parts in months N + 1 and N + 2
- over $100K, recognize in three equal parts over 3 months
N + 1, N + 2, N + 3 ...

I have attached a document paralleling a document I am working on. The dollar amount in each spreadsheet represent sales. I have entered in values into the candy, soda, and chips spreadsheet. I have also linked values for candy into the total spreadsheet. My question is can I somehow type something or drag the formula down to populate the other cells in the total spreadsheet?
The idea I am thinking but which I don't know how to implement is to list all the items (as in column G) and list all of the relevant cells (e.g. B1 in the Candy spreadsheet) as in columns H and I (Note that all items will have the same cells but the cells will have different values...e.g. all three items have a cell B1 and B2 in their spreadsheet but these cells contain different values). I then try and fail to create a formula in cell B3 of the Total spreadsheet. I am trying to create a formula of the following nature:
='(Spreadsheet Name From Column G)'!(Cell Name From Columns H and I)
The Second half of the formula doesn't really concern me (i.e. the cell name from column H and I). However I am perplexed as to how to achieve the goal in the first parentheses above.

I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

I have a spreadsheet that I have a lot of macros that are attached to a customized toolbar saved in the same spreadsheet. I saved this is a read-only file. When I open as read-only and run my macros (testing), I save it as another file. When I then open the "template" to do the same thing, the toolbar/buttons now reference the file I previously saved as something else. Help please? Is there a macro that would delete all macros before saving the file as something else?

Often I need to add data from one spreadsheet to the appropriate places on another spreadsheet. For example:
Sheet A has 10,000 records with these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment.
Sheet B has 5,000 records these fields: id#, GPA, college major, type of degree.
Some of the records in B contain information for the same id#'s as sheet A. I want to add this information together so that a Sheet C will have these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment, GPA, college major, type of degree.
