Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate reporting and reduce manual effort:
- Progress (%):
=IF(OR([@Start Date]="", [@Due Date]=""), 0, IF(TODAY() > [@Due Date], 100, MIN(100, (TODAY()-[@Start Date])/([@Due Date]-[@Start Date])*100)))– Calculates progress based on timeline. - Overdue Indicator:
=IF(AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@Due Date] - Budget Utilization Rate (in Summary Dashboard):
=SUMIFS('Project List & Details'!$F:$F, 'Project List & Details'!$G:$G, "<>") / SUMIFS('Project List & Details'!$E:$E, 'Project List & Details'!$G:$G, "<>") - Count of Active Projects:
=COUNTIF('Project List & Details'!$D:$D, "In Progress") + COUNTIF('Project List & Details'!$D:$D, "Not Started") - On-Time Projects (in Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS('Project List & Details'!$E:$E, "<>", 'Project List & Details'!$F:$F, ">=", 'Project List & Details'!$G:$G, "<=")(with proper date references).
Conditional Formatting
- Overdue Tasks: Highlight red background if Due Date is before Today and Status ≠ Completed.
- Risk Level: Color-code cells: Red for High, Yellow for Medium, Green for Low.
- Progress Bars: Use data bars (0–100%) to visualize completion rates in the Progress column.
- Status Column: Color indicators: Red = Not Started, Orange = On Hold, Blue = In Progress, Green = Completed.
- Budget Utilization: Highlight cell in yellow if utilization > 80% and in red if > 95%.
