Dear community of people so much smarter than me!
I am using Airtable to build a film budget that has a number of fields and formulas that are causing me headaches.
Table 1) Budget top sheet (two rollup fields: budget & actuals)
Table 2) Budget (above the line and below the line)
Table 3) Actuals
Table 4) Cashflow forecast
CHALLENGES:
1) On the budget - certain line items are subject to fringe (payroll fees, withholdings on a state-by-state basis, admin fees, etc.) and need to be calculated on a per line item basis. This is not consistent across the budget. How to solve for this?
2) From the above - - for things subject to fringes - we need to have a number calculated and roll up to the first table outlined above (the budget top sheet). How best to do this?
3) We also need to calculate contingency - which is only calculated on Below the Line costs... how best to delineate this - calculate this - and have the number roll up accurately to the budget top sheet?
If you have done this, or have experience with this - you can message me directly - jon@jonwoods.com - i am not opposed to finding meaningful ways to make this worth your while for helping me solve this. I am out of options and against a deadline.
Thank you all!
