The template leverages Excel’s built-in functions to automate data consistency, calculations, and insights:- Auto-Generated Client ID:
=IF(A2="", "CLT-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), A2)– Automatically assigns a unique client code. - Status-Based Color Coding (Client Database): Uses conditional formatting to color-code cells based on status values (e.g., red for “Inactive,” green for “Active”).
- Overdue Task Detection:
=IF(AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@Due Date] - Total Clients by Status:
=COUNTIF(ClientDatabase[Client Status], "Active")used in the dashboard. - Renewal Countdown: In the dashboard, uses:
=IF([@Next Renewal Date]-TODAY()<=30, "Renewal Due Soon", "")
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red highlight for any task with a due date earlier than today and status ≠ “Completed” - Yellow highlight for tasks due within 3 days - Green fill for completed tasks - Orange background if client has no assigned account manager - Color gradients in the dashboard to show trends over time (e.g., number of active clients per month)User Instructions
