What does this template do?
Separate proposed cost changes from approved cost changes and track the effect on a project baseline.
Requested impact equals added cost less removed cost. Approved impact contributes that amount only when approval reads Approved. The summary adds approved impact to the baseline in B8.
Approval is an explicit manual status, not inferred from a date or amount. Pending and rejected requests remain visible without changing the approved baseline.
The working tab keeps editable inputs separate from formulas, with room for 60 records. The Notes tab explains the method and how to extend the range. All example records are fictional and can be replaced. Download a workbook format to retain formulas, or CSV when you need calculated values only.

- Requested impact equals added cost less removed cost. Approved impact contributes that amount only when approval reads Approved. The summary adds approved impact to the baseline in B8.
- 60 prepared record rows with blank-row guards
- Blue input cells, typed dates and numbers, and frozen column headers
- Notes with the method, assumptions, and range-extension instructions

What formulas does this template use?
This template holds 123 formulas in 172 cells across 2 tabs, so 72% of its cells calculate. They use 8 distinct functions; the longest formula is 135 characters.
| Function | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|
IF | 302 | one result when a test is true, another when false |
COUNT | 120 | counts numeric cells |
COUNTIF | 4 | counts cells meeting one condition |
SUM | 2 | adds numbers |
COUNTA | 1 | counts non-empty cells |
ISNUMBER | 1 | true for a number |
NOT | 1 | reverses true and false |
OR | 1 | true when any test is true |
Counted from the workbook itself. Only functions that Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers evaluate the same way are used, so the formulas survive every download format.
How do you use it?
- Replace the fictional records in blue cells with your own data. Keep the dark formula cells.
- Set original baseline (usd) in B8.
- Read the calculated columns and inspect the results before using them. Clear unused input rows; keep their formulas.
- The prepared range holds 60 records in rows 11–70. Extend formulas and summary ranges together if you add more rows.
What is it good for?
- Separate proposed cost changes from approved cost changes and track the effect on a project baseline

- Checking a calculation before adapting it to a larger workbook
Questions about this sheet
How is the result calculated?
Requested impact equals added cost less removed cost. Approved impact contributes that amount only when approval reads Approved. The summary adds approved impact to the baseline in B8.
What assumptions should I check?
Approval is an explicit manual status, not inferred from a date or amount. Pending and rejected requests remain visible without changing the approved baseline.
Can I add more than 60 records?
Yes. Copy the formula columns into new rows and extend every summary range to include them. Keep inputs and formulas in their original columns.
Are the example records real?
No. All example data is fictional and intended to demonstrate the formulas. Replace it before using the workbook for your own work.
