Sheet Names and Purpose

• Client Overview (Main Dashboard): A high-level summary dashboard featuring key KPIs such as active clients, overdue tasks, total revenue by client, and service category breakdown.
• Client Details: The central database for all client information including contact details, contract terms, service level agreements (SLAs), and engagement history.
• Service Tracking: A timeline-based log of all services rendered per client, including start/end dates, deliverables, status updates, and responsible team members.
• Financial Summary: Tracks billing cycles, invoice statuses, payments received, outstanding balances, and recurring revenue forecasts.
• Tasks & Milestones: A task management sheet linking individual tasks to clients and projects with due dates, assignees, priority levels, and completion status.
• Reporting Log: Records all client reporting activities—including report generation date, type of report (monthly/quarterly), distribution list, and feedback received.

Formulas Required for Automation and Intelligence

• Auto-increment Client ID: Use the formula in column A: =IF(A1="", "CLT-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000"), A1)
• Status Color Indicator: Conditional formatting based on status (e.g., green for “Completed”, red for “Delayed”).
• Next Renewal Date: In Client Overview: =IF(ISBLANK([@EndDate]), "", DATE(YEAR([@EndDate])+1, MONTH([@EndDate]), DAY([@EndDate])))
• Active Clients Count: Use COUNTIFS(Client Details!Status, "Active") in dashboard.
• Outstanding Balance Calculation: In Financial Summary: =SUMIFS(InvoiceTable[Amount], InvoiceTable[Status], "Unpaid")
• Milestone Progress Bar: Use a formula to calculate % completion based on task count: =COUNTIF(TaskSheet[Status], "Completed")/COUNTA(TaskSheet[Task]).

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Highlight red if due date is in the past and status is “Pending”.
• Low Budget Utilization: Yellow highlight if actual spend is below 50% of budget.
• Status Indicators: Green (Completed), Orange (In Progress), Red (Delayed).
• Last Contact Date: Light red if more than 60 days since last contact.
