Formulas Used

The template leverages dynamic Excel formulas to ensure real-time updates: - **On-Time Delivery Rate (%)**: `=COUNTIFS(Status, "Completed", Actual End Date, "<="&Target End Date)/COUNTIF(Status, "Completed")*100` - **Variance from Budget (%)**: `=(Actual Spend to Date - Budget Allocated) / Budget Allocated` - **Trend Indicator (Arrow)**: `=IF(PreviousPeriodScore < CurrentScore, "↑", IF(PreviousPeriodScore > CurrentScore, "↓", "→"))` - **Status Color Coding Logic**: Used in conditional formatting based on status values.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight: - **Status Column (Performance Tracker)**: Red for “Delayed”, Yellow for “At Risk”, Green for “On Track”. - **Variance from Budget (%)**: Red if negative (>0% variance), Green if positive (<0%). - **Client Satisfaction Score**: Traffic light scale (Red: 1–4, Yellow: 5–7, Green: 8–10). - **Trend Indicator**: Automatically changes color (Green for ↑, Red for ↓).

User Instructions

On the Data Input & Validation Rules sheet, update dropdown lists if needed.
In the Client Performance Tracker, input all project details and update status monthly.
