1. Client Overview Sheet

2. Project Progress Tracking Sheet

3. Financial Summary Sheet

Formulas Required

• Pivot Table Integration: A dynamic pivot table on the Client Overview sheet pulls summarized KPIs from the Data Source sheet.
• Budget Variance Calculation: In the Project Progress Tracking sheet, formula: =IF([@Budget Used]>[@Budget Allocated], "Over Budget", "On Track")
• On-Time Delivery Rate: Calculated in Client Overview using: =COUNTIFS(Status, "Completed", Due Date, "<="&Today())/COUNTIF(Status, "Completed")
• Status Indicator Logic: Uses nested IF and DATE functions to flag overdue tasks or projects near deadline.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Red text for “Overdue”, yellow for “Approaching Deadline” (within 3 days), green for “On Track”.
• Budget Usage: Cells turn red if budget used exceeds allocated amount; amber if within 90% of limit.
• Profit Margin: Green if >20%, yellow if 10–20%, red if below 10%.
• Data Entry Validation: Ensures date ranges are logical and dropdowns maintain consistent data types.
