5. Performance Dashboard

This sheet contains dynamic charts and summary metrics derived from the data in other sheets, using formulas and conditional formatting to visualize administrative performance.

Formulas Required

- Auto-incrementing IDs:
`=IF(A2="", MAX($A$1:A1)+1, A2)` — placed in the Task ID and Item ID columns (first row starts at 1). - Status Completion Rate:
`=COUNTIF('Daily Task Tracker'!F:F,"Completed") / COUNTA('Daily Task Tracker'!F:F) * 100` — displayed as a percentage on the Dashboard. - Overdue Tasks:
`=COUNTIFS('Daily Task Tracker'!E:E, "<"&TODAY(), 'Daily Task Tracker'!F:F, "<>Completed")` — counts tasks past due and not completed. - Stock Alert Conditional Formula:
`=IF(AND([@Quantity On Hand]<=[@Reorder Threshold], [@Reorder Threshold]>0), "Order Now!", "In Stock")` — in Resource Inventory to flag low stock. - Calendar Event Validation:
Use Data Validation with formulas like: `=AND(DATEVALUE(B2)>=TODAY(), D2>0)` — ensures only future events and valid durations are entered.

Conditional Formatting

- **Task Tracker:** - Red fill for tasks where Due Date < Today AND Status ≠ Completed. - Green fill for "Completed" status. - Yellow for "In Progress" tasks. - **Resource Inventory:** - Light red highlight when Quantity On Hand ≤ Reorder Threshold. - **Incident Log:** - Red text and bold font if Impact Level = "Critical".
