Use roll-forward
calculations:
• Connects the current
period to the prior period
Simplify IF statements:
• Avoid complex nested IFs
• Use Boolean logic (0 or 1): MAX, MIN,
AND, OR, XLOOKUP
+C22 +C16
Reduce complexity using flags: CAPEX Loan at the Beginning
CAPEX Loan Drawdown
$0
$0 $10.000
$0 $10.000
$0
$10.000
$0
$5.000
$0
• Insert flags to yield ”TRUE/FALSE” Capex Loan Redemption $0 $0 $0 ($5.000) ($5.000)
• TRUE is treated like a “1”, FALSE like a FX Translation Loss 0 -1248 -2596 -2025 -702
Referencing Cells
Never re-enter the same input • Inflation = +C320 of “Assumptions” worksheet
in different places: • Never hardcode Inflation into another cell but
When you change that parameter, link it to +Assumption!320
you will forget to update the other • There should be only one reference point for
cell Inflation in the whole Workbook
