Dedicated input area
The top part of the spreadsheet table is the Dedicated input area.
In this area there are labels in the A column with a gray background. These labels dictate the type of input data to be on that row.
As an example the 2’nd row shall contain expected revenues in column C, column D and onwards. That is, in the calculation, the data input in these cells are assumed to be expected revenues.

Free space area and ‘@Variables’
The area below the Dedicated input area, is the Free space area.
That means that the input in these cells are not directly included in the calculations. However, you can link cells in the Dedicated input area to cells in the Free space area. As an example you can create input and calculations in the Free space area for the revenues and costs, and then link the revenues cells to this Free space area calculation. In the below example Revenues in cell C2, D2 etc.is linked to the Free space area cells C16, D16 etc. Input in cell C2 is '=C16'.
