Calculated ratios close to industry standards do not trigger either a "red light" or a "green light". Other sheets on the template provides graphs of the common ratios. input cell color Input information is entered in the green cells on the income statement and balance sheet pages. Calculation cells are protected. The template can be modified by turning off the protection.
