I worked on a budget forecasting project in Excel where I used actual financial data as a base and then created different scenarios to understand how changes in expenses would affect the overall results.
I started with the actual dataset as the base case. Then I created two additional scenarios — one where expenses were increased by 15% (worst case) and another where expenses were reduced by 15% (ideal case). This helped in comparing how different situations could impact financial performance.
After that, I built an income statement that was linked to all three scenarios. I also added a simple selection feature, so when a different scenario is chosen, the income statement automatically updates based on that selection.
This project helped me understand how to structure financial data, build forecasting models, and connect everything in a way that is easy to use and useful for decision-making.
