Data Types & Formulas Required

The template uses a mix of text, date, numeric, and lookup data types. Key formulas include:

• DATEFORMATTING: Converts text dates into standard date formats using =TEXT(A2,"yyyy-mm-dd").
• VLOOKUP: Links client activity to master data (e.g., retrieving account manager name).
• IF Statements: Determine SLA compliance, e.g., =IF(B4 - A4 > 24, "Delayed", "On Time").
• SUMIFS: Aggregates daily activity counts per client or service type: =SUMIFS(Activity!D:D, Activity!B:B, "CLT-001").
• CONCATENATE / TEXTJOIN: Builds full activity summaries (e.g., combining date and description).
• NETWORKDAYS: Calculates days between onboarding and current date for retention analysis.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Conditional formatting is used to highlight key operational risks and trends:

• Pending Activities (Red): Cells where status = "Pending" in the Daily Activity Log are highlighted red.
• SLA Violations (Yellow): Any entry with response time exceeding 24 hours turns yellow.
• High-Value Clients (Green): Clients with annual revenue > $100k are shaded green in the Client Master sheet.
• Out-of-Range Duration (Orange): Activities lasting more than 90 minutes trigger an orange warning.
