Formulas Required

The template uses a mix of basic and advanced Excel formulas to ensure automation and accuracy:

Auto-Client ID Generation: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&COUNTA(A:A)+1 (in Data Entry sheet)
Status Color Logic: Uses conditional formatting based on status in the Client Overview table.
Progress Percentage: In Project Tracker, E column uses a formula such as: =IF(AND(F2=TRUE,G2=TRUE,H2=TRUE),100%,IF(AND(F2=TRUE,G2=TRUE),50%, IF(F2=TRUE,10%, 0%)))
Outstanding Balance: In Financial Summary: =IF(E2="Paid",D2,IF(E2="Partially Paid",D2-VALUE(F2),D2))
Last Review Date: Auto-populates using: =IF(G$1<>"",G$1+30,"") (for monthly review cycles)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Apply the following rules across relevant sheets for visual clarity:

Client Status Column: Highlight "Active" in green, "On Hold" in yellow, and "Inactive/Completed" in red.
Due Dates (Project Tracker): Apply red fill to any due date that is past the current date.
Outstanding Balance: Highlight cells with value > £0 in bold red if overdue by more than 15 days.
Progress Bar (Project Tracker): Use data bars for the Progress (%) column to visualize project maturity visually.

User Instructions

The Dashboard automatically updates based on data entered into other sheets.
