Formulas Required
The template uses advanced Excel functions to maintain automation and accuracy:
- Variance Calculation:
=IF(B2="", "", (C2-D2)/D2*100) — Calculates percentage change between current and previous values.
- Health Score:
=AVERAGE(IF(E2:E8<>"", E2:E8, 0)) * 1.5 — Averages performance metrics (after weighting).
- Next Report Due:
=EOMONTH(TODAY(), 1) + 7 — Calculates due date based on monthly cycle with buffer.
- Status Indicator: Uses nested IF statements to determine project health (e.g., if over 3 milestones delayed → “At Risk”).
- Dynamic Dashboard Updates: SUMIFS, INDEX-MATCH combinations pull data from multiple sheets into the main dashboard.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Health Score Color Scale (1-100): Green (85-100), Yellow (65-84), Red (<65).
- Milestone Status: Red for “Delayed”, Yellow for “In Progress”, Green for “Completed”.
- Variance Trend: Upward arrow in green, downward in red.
- Overdue Deadlines: Highlighted with bold red text if due date is past today.
