Spreadsheet Instructions

Worksheet

STEPS
Only enter your data in the white cells, not the yellow cells
All the yellow cell formulas will autocalculate for you

Warning

Do not enter data cells that are this color

These cells are filled with formulas

Spreadsheet Info

You will need to determine the allocated expenses and communicate to your managers.
For contractors and full-time employees starting in the middle of the year, be sure to put $0 in those
months prior to the actual start date. Each cell has a formula so BE CAREFUL.
If your fiscal year does not start in January, re-label the months.
In the summary worksheet (OPEX Plan), leave blank any fields or categories not in use at your company.
Copy entire workbook for each department needed.

Change Cell Color

Highlight Area to remove, add, or change color

Go to Format, scroll down to "cells", click on "patterns"
Check "No Color" or choose a different color

Unprotect Sheet

Go to Tools, Protection, Unprotect Sheet

Printing

You may want to change colors to match your corporate logo or remove colors in their entirety.

Black and White Printers: YOU MUST remove all colors from the spreadsheet before printing - or else you will not be able to see the shaded cells.
To remove all colors, you must first select the entire sheet - which you can do in a number of ways.
One way is to place your cursor anywhere in the spreadsheet and hold down the Control Key and then depress the "A" key. This will highlight the entire sheet.
Then go to Format, select "cells", click on "patterns" and select " no color" and click on "ok" .
