I already have the raw numbers split across two worksheets in a single Excel file: one tab holds the Project Manager’s recorded man-month costs, the other the tender’s planned man-months. What I need is a concise, decision-ready workbook that lets me see — at a glance — where we are over or under the original plan. Key points you will work with • Any line item showing a value below £1 000 is noise for this exercise; please exclude it so the analysis reflects only genuine working man-months. • The single comparison I care about is total man-months vs planned man-months. • For visuals, I’m looking for clear man-month histograms (or whatever variant you feel best conveys planned vs actual) accompanied by well-labelled tables. Deliverables 1. A cleaned Excel worksheet containing only the relevant data (sub-£1 000 items removed). 2. A summary table that lays out planned, actual and variance side by side. 3. One or more charts that instantly communicate the gap between planned and actual man-months. 4. A brief note inside the workbook describing your steps, so anyone reviewing can follow the logic. Keep the file self-contained — no external links or macros — so I can forward it to the wider team without compatibility worries. Questions? Let me know and I’ll respond quickly.

Hi there, I’ve reviewed your requirements and understand the need for a high-integrity, decision-ready workbook to analyze the variance between your Project Manager’s recorded costs and the tender's planned man-months. I am confident I can architect a clean, self-contained Excel model that filters out "noise" and provides an instantaneous visual assessment of your project health. My approach begins with a structural audit of your two worksheets to establish a "Source of Truth" for your actual and planned datasets. I will utilize Power Query (internal to the file) to automate the filtering of any line items below $\pounds 1,000$, ensuring your analysis focuses strictly on genuine operational man-months. Next, I will engineer a summary table that aligns planned, actual, and variance figures side-by-side with absolute technical precision. Finally, I will build man-month histograms and clear, well-labeled tables to visualize the performance gaps, including a transparent logic note within the workbook for your stakeholders. Beyond the visuals, I prioritize a "compatibility-first" architecture, ensuring the file remains entirely self-contained with no macros or external links for seamless distribution across your organization. Would you like the variance to be expressed as a raw man-month figure, a percentage of the plan, or both? Let’s get started on building your variance analysis workbook for you. Warm regards, Aneesa.

Hi there, I understand you need a clean, decision-ready Excel workbook that clearly compares planned vs actual man-months, removes low-value noise, and presents the variance in a way that is instantly understandable for stakeholders. My approach will start with consolidating both worksheets and standardizing the structure so planned and actual values align correctly.

Deliverable: A fully self-contained Excel workbook including cleaned data, a clear variance summary, intuitive charts, and a short in-file note explaining the methodology used. QUESTION: Would you like the variance breakdown only at a total level, or should I also include a category/task-level view to pinpoint exactly where overruns or savings are occurring? I have handled similar Excel analysis tasks focused on financial and operational comparisons, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and executive-ready presentation. Let’s get this structured and decision-ready. Regards, Shehwani.
