Formulas Required

The template includes powerful Excel formulas to automate calculations and ensure real-time updates:

• Balance Due (Revenue Sheet): =IF(ISBLANK(C3),0,C3 - IF(D3="",0,D3)) — calculates unpaid amounts.
• Client Engagement Score: =AVERAGEIFS(ScoreRange, ClientID, A2) + 10*COUNTIFS(DateRange, ">="&DATE(2024,1,1), ResponseTime,"<30") — combines multiple engagement indicators.
• Monthly Revenue Summary: =SUMIFS(RevenueAmounts!B:B, RevenueAmounts!A:A, ">="&StartOfMonth, RevenueAmounts!A:A, "<="&EndOfMonth) — used in pivot tables.
• Renewal Probability Forecast: Uses a simple linear regression formula: =0.6 + 0.1 * (MonthsSinceLastInteraction), capped at 1.0.
• Auto-Update of Status: Conditional logic to change status from "Active" to "On Hold" when no service activity occurs in 90 days.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and alert users to critical data points:

• Overdue Payments: Highlight red if "Date Paid" is blank or greater than "Due Date + 30 days".
• Low Engagement Scores (Below 60): Light yellow background with warning text.
• Pending Invoices > $10K: Orange highlight for high-value overdue items.
• Client Status Change Dates: Green highlight when a client transitions to "Active" or "Renewed".
• High Interaction Frequency: Gradient color based on number of service logs per month (e.g., 10+ = bright blue).

User Instructions

Business Operations users should follow these steps:

1. Enter client data into the Client Master Data sheet using the dropdowns and validation rules.
2. Create service logs in the Service Delivery Log when interactions occur—ensure dates and agent names are accurate.
3. Add invoices to the revenue sheet with correct amounts and status tags.
