SHEET NAMES

Client Overview (Active Sheet): This is the primary dashboard displaying all key metrics, performance indicators, and summary data. It’s formatted to be visually compelling and instantly understandable for client executives.
Data Input: A hidden or protected tab used for raw data entry. Contains the foundational information that feeds into the Client Overview sheet through formulas.
Legend & Instructions: Provides users with definitions, formula explanations, and usage guidelines to ensure accurate reporting.

TABLE STRUCTURES AND COLUMNS

The main Client Overview sheet is divided into four key table sections:

1. Client Summary Table

This table provides a high-level snapshot of the client's engagement. - **Columns:** - Client Name (Text, e.g., "Acme Corp") - Engagement Period (Date, e.g., "Jan 2024 – Dec 2024") - Primary Contact (Text) - Status (Dropdown: Active / On Hold / Completed) - Total Value Delivered ($) – Calculated - **Data Type:** Text, Date, Currency

2. Performance Metrics Table

Tracks KPIs over time with year-over-year comparison. - **Columns:** - Metric Name (Text): e.g., Revenue Growth, Client Satisfaction Score, Project Completion Rate - Current Period Value (Number) - Prior Period Value (Number) - Variance (%) – Formula-driven - **Data Type:** Text, Number

3. Project Progress Tracker

Visualizes the status of key projects. - **Columns:** - Project Name (Text) - Target Completion Date (Date) - Actual Completion Date (Date or Blank) - Status (Dropdown: Not Started / In Progress / On Track / Delayed / Completed) - % Complete – Formula-based - **Data Type:** Text, Date, Percentage

4. Financial Summary

Displays budget vs. actuals. - **Columns:** - Category (Text): e.g., Consulting Fees, Software Licenses, Training - Budgeted Amount ($) – Input field - Actual Spend ($) – Input field - Variance ($) and % – Formula-driven

FORMULAS REQUIRED

To maintain automation and accuracy across the template:

Variance (%) = (Current Period Value − Prior Period Value) / Prior Period Value × 100
% Complete = IF(Actual Completion Date ≠ "", 100%, (TODAY() - Start Date) / (Target Completion Date - Start Date)) * 100 – This requires proper date inputs.
Variance ($) = Actual Spend − Budgeted Amount
Variance (%) = Variance ($) / Budgeted Amount × 100
Use SUMIFS and COUNTIFS to dynamically count projects by status or sum values by category.
Status color logic: Use nested IFs to flag delayed projects or over-budget items.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance readability and highlight key insights:

Negative Variance in Financials: Red fill with white text for amounts over budget.
Variance > 10% (positive or negative): Orange background to draw attention.
Status = Delayed: Bold red font and flashing border (if supported).
% Complete > 90%: Green fill; between 60–89%: yellow; below 60%: red.
Past Due Target Completion Dates: Auto-highlight in red if today’s date exceeds the deadline.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

1. Open the template and navigate to the Data Input sheet. 2. Enter client-specific data into designated columns (e.g., budget amounts, project dates, performance values). 3. Return to Client Overview. The dashboard will auto-update based on formulas. 4. Review conditional formatting – any red or orange cells indicate issues requiring attention. 5. Adjust the engagement period and contact details as needed in the Client Summary section. 6. Use the Legend & Instructions sheet to understand formula logic and data validation rules. 7. When ready, print or export to PDF for sharing with clients.
