Formulas Required

=IFERROR(LEFT(A1,4)&TEXT(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)+1,"000"), "CLT-001"): Auto-generates Client ID (e.g., CLT-002) based on existing entries.
=IF(ISBLANK([@Last Contact Date]), "", TODAY()-[@Last Contact Date]): Calculates days since last contact to flag inactivity.
=VLOOKUP(ClientID, 'Client Database'!$A:$J, 10, FALSE): Pulls the "Status" of a client for dashboard display.
=COUNTIFS('Client Database'!$H:$H,"Active",'Client Database'!$K:$K,">=3"): Counts high-priority active clients for workload assessment.
=IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(‘Activity Log’!C:C)=YEAR(TODAY()))*(MONTH(‘Activity Log’!C:C)=MONTH(TODAY()))),0): Counts monthly activities (example).

Conditional Formatting Rules

Overdue Tasks: If [Due Date] is before today and status ≠ Completed → Red fill with white bold text.
Last Contact Status: If days since last contact > 30 → Yellow highlight; > 60 → Orange; > 90 → Red (indicating potential client at risk).
Priority Level: Use color scales: Low (Green), Medium (Yellow), High (Red) with data bars.
Status Indicator: Color-code cells in "Status" column: Active = Green, On Hold = Gray, Terminated = Red.

User Instructions

Open the template and enable macros (if prompted) to ensure formulas and formatting work correctly.
Start by entering client data in the "Client Database" sheet. The Client ID will auto-generate—no manual entry needed.
To log an interaction, go to "Activity Log", select a valid Client ID from the dropdown, and fill in all required fields.
Use the "Analytics & Reports" dashboard to monitor client health, workload distribution, and engagement patterns.
Regularly review overdue tasks (red highlights) and follow up on inactive clients (yellow/orange/red flags).
