Formulas Required

The template employs a range of Excel formulas to ensure automation and accuracy:

• Auto-increment IDs: Use =IF(LEN(A1)=0, "N/A", A1+1) in client logs.
• Completion Time: =IF(B2="", "", C2-B2)
• SLA Compliance: If service end date is within 30 days of SLA deadline, return "Yes", else "No".
• Gross Profit Margin: As above.
• Total Active Clients: =COUNTIF(Client Master!Status, "Active")
• Churn Rate: =COUNTIF(Client Master!Status, "Terminated") / COUNTA(Client Master!Client ID)
• Data Validation: Dropdowns use Data Validation with lists from named ranges.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Highlighting: In the Client Master List, highlight "On Hold" in yellow and "Terminated" in red.
• Profitability Flag: Apply green/yellow/red fill based on margin thresholds (via a formula-driven rule).
• Scheduled Alerts: Use conditional formatting to flag overdue interactions (e.g., no interaction in 30 days).
