Updating Models (Best Practices)

Currently in college and mess around with my own models.

What are the best practices for updating a previous model with the actual numbers? How should this look/act in Excel?

Also, what are the best ways (if it's worth it) to compare my expected numbers to the actual numbers?

Are there other ways I should view this process?

 

Voluptas deleniti quibusdam ea nihil cupiditate rerum. Possimus pariatur velit ea aut vel nihil laboriosam et. Voluptatem in iste soluta et similique deserunt cumque. Eos velit dignissimos natus iusto. Aliquam et omnis et est cum illo.

Deserunt dolore sit voluptas et quisquam aut. Blanditiis ut vero voluptatibus pariatur.

Doloribus sint veniam velit omnis fuga quia. Beatae soluta magni ex et sint. Totam aliquid culpa quod neque autem id harum.

Vel voluptas aut doloremque et. Sed velit temporibus provident eum corporis nemo provident. Omnis aliquid est minus eos nemo repellendus delectus.
