Formulas Required

Key formulas used across sheets:

Auto-fill Created Date: In CRM_MasterLog, use =TODAY() in the "Created Date" column (manual override allowed).

Status Summary: In Audit Status Tracker, use:

=IF(COUNTIFS(CRM_MasterLog[Account ID],[@[Account ID]], CRM_MasterLog[Evidence Attached?],"Yes")=COUNTIF(CRM_MasterLog[Account ID],[@[Account ID]]), "Fully Compliant", IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(CRM_MasterLog[Evidence Attached?]="Yes"))>0, "Partially Compliant", "At Risk"))

Risk Score Calculation: In Audit Status Tracker:

=AVERAGEIF(CRM_MasterLog[Account ID],[@[Account ID]], CRM_MasterLog[Audit Risk Level])

Dynamic Chart Data: Use structured references (e.g., CRM_MasterLog[Industry Sector]) for chart data sources.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity:

Critical Risk Alerts: Highlight rows in CRM_MasterLog where "Audit Risk Level" is "High" with a red background and bold text.
Status Color Coding: Use conditional formatting rules:
- "Compliant" → Green fill
- "In Progress" → Yellow fill
- "Non-Compliant" → Red fill
Missing Evidence: Apply a yellow highlight to cells in the "Evidence Attached?" column where the value is "No".
Dashboard KPIs: Use data bars for risk scores and color scales for status indicators.
