2. Performance Metrics (Table: tblPerformance)

Formulas Required

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to maintain dynamic calculations:

• Variance (%) in Performance Metrics: =IF(OR(TargetValue=0, ActualValue=""), "", (ActualValue - TargetValue)/TargetValue)
• Delay (Days) in Timeline: =IF(ISBLANK(ActualCompletionDate), "", IF(ActualCompletionDate > DueDate, ActualCompletionDate - DueDate, 0))
• Total Revenue & Profit Margin: Use SUMIFS to calculate revenue from the Finance table based on date range and category.
• Auto-fill Status Indicator: Uses nested IFs with conditional formatting for visual clarity.

Conditional Formatting

The template includes smart conditional formatting rules to instantly highlight performance trends:

• Performance Metrics - Variance Column: Red (below target), Yellow (near target), Green (exceeded).
