- Client Dashboard: A summary view showing key performance indicators and upcoming tasks per client.
- Reporting Export: A formatted, printable version of the log suitable for sharing with clients via email or PDF.

Formulas and Automation Features
The template leverages Excel’s formula engine to enhance functionality:- Auto-Date Entry: The "Date Completed" column uses a formula like
=IF(Status="Completed", TODAY(), "")to auto-populate when status changes. - Efficiency Ratio: A new column, "Efficiency Ratio", calculates:
=Actual Duration / Estimated Duration. This helps analyze performance over time. - Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting uses formulas like
=Status="Completed"to highlight green cells, while "Pending" appears in yellow and "Cancelled" in red. - Next Service Reminder: Formula in the "Next Scheduled Date" column can use:
=IF(Maintenance Type="HVAC Service", DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())+6, DAY(TODAY())), ...)to suggest biannual or annual intervals. - Total Cost per Client: On the "Client Dashboard" sheet,
SUMIFSformulas aggregate total spent per client.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Status Column:** Color cells based on status using rules: - Green if "Completed" - Yellow if "In Progress" - Red if "Pending" or "Cancelled" - **Next Scheduled Date:** Highlight in orange when the date is within the next 7 days. - **Cost Field:** Apply a data bar gradient to visualize service costs across entries. - **Efficiency Ratio:** Use color scales (green for ≤1.0, yellow for 1.0–1.2, red for >1.2) to highlight inefficiencies.User Instructions
