I am currently working on a controlling dashboard for SharePoint, but have to figure out the formulas in Excel first.

I want to compare a YTD planned value (B4) with a YTD actual value (C4) and of that number insert a traffic light showing the YTD status vs. the plan.

Below you see the logic for one year (later on more years will be inserted).

ABCDEFGHIJK
1TodayQ2 2017 Plan
2
32017 FY Plan2017 YTD Plan2017 YTD ActQ1 2017 Plan10Q1 2017 ActQ2 2017 PlanQ2 2017 ActQ3 2017 PlanQ3 2017 ActQ4 2017 PlanQ4 2017 Act
45032121022010156510

The formulas I used are following:
B2="Q"&INT((MONTH(TODAY())+2)/3)&" "&YEAR(TODAY())&" "&"Plan"
A4=SUM(D4:INDEX(D4:K4;MATCH(B1;D3:K3;0)))
B4=D4+F4+H4+J4

<tbody>
</tbody>
At the moment B2 returns the current quarter and year, which is then used as a comparison for the formula in B4.

Obviously, the formula I found using INDEX MATCH in B4 does not work, as all columns (from D4:F4) are summed up. I would need something similar, which only sums up every second columns - the YTD "plan" values (D4 and F4 in this case) and leaves out the YTD "actual" values. I unfortunately, have no clue how to insert this additional condition. The similar formula in C4 is now missing as well (value has been inserted manually).

Thank you for your help! It is highly appreciated.
