TABLE STRUCTURES AND COLUMNS (Client Assets Sheet)

The Client Assets sheet is the foundational table in this template. It uses structured Excel tables with defined column names and data types for accuracy and ease of filtering.

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template leverages a range of Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:

• Current Value Change (YTD): =IF(Original Investment=0,"N/A",ROUND((Current Value - Original Investment)/Original Investment,4))
• Status Update: =IF(Maturity Date="", "Active", IF(Maturity Date<=TODAY(), "Matured", IF(AND(Maturity Date<=TODAY()+30, Maturity Date>TODAY()),"Upcoming Renewal","Active")))
• Portfolio Value by Client: Uses SUMIFS to total asset values per client.
• Total Portfolio Value (Dashboard): =SUM('Client Assets'!D:D)
• CAGR Calculation: =IF(Original Investment=0,"N/A",EXP(LN(Current Value/Original Investment)/Years Since Purchase)-1)

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance readability and highlight critical information, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red Highlight: For assets with a maturity date within the next 30 days (alerts for upcoming renewals).
• Yellow Highlight: For assets that have matured but not yet been acted upon.
• Green Gradient: For assets with positive annual return (>1%) to visually represent performance.
• Data Bars: Applied to the “Current Value” and “Original Investment” columns for easy visual comparison across assets.
