Table Structures and Data Types

Sheet: Client Details (Main Table)

Formulas and Calculations

The template uses dynamic Excel formulas across sheets for data consistency and automation:

• Client ID Auto-generation (Sheet: Client Details):
  =IF(ISBLANK(A2), "C-" & TEXT(COUNTA($A:$A)+1,"00000"), A2)
  This formula ensures unique, sequential IDs are assigned when new rows are added.
• Days Since Onboarding (Sheet: Client Overview):
  =TODAY() - [Acquisition Date]
  Automatically calculates how long a client has been active.
• Next Renewal Forecast (Sheet: Contract & Billing):
  =DATE(YEAR([Contract Start Date]) + 1, MONTH([Contract Start Date]), DAY([Contract Start Date]))
  Predicts renewal dates based on initial contract term.
• Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Calculation (Sheet: Performance Metrics):
  =AVERAGE(IF(Contract & Billing!$E:$E=ClientID, Contract & Billing!$F:$F)) * [Average Renewal Rate]
  Uses historical revenue and retention trends to estimate CLV per client tier.

Conditional Formatting

Dynamic conditional formatting enhances data visualization and highlights critical statuses:

• Account Status Indicator:
  - Red text for "Inactive"
  - Orange for "On Hold"
  - Green for "Active" or "Renewal Pending"
• Days Since Onboarding:
  - Yellow highlight if > 365 days (long-term clients)
  - Red if > 730 days with no activity
• Contract Renewal Date:
  - Orange background for renewals due in the next 30 days
  - Red for overdue renewals (>30 days past due)
