Formulas Required
The template uses simple, reliable formulas to maintain accuracy and reduce manual work:
=IF(TODAY() > [Next Review Due], "Overdue", IF([Next Review Due] <= TODAY() + 30, "Due Soon", "On Track"))– This formula in the Clients sheet determines compliance status based on due date.=EDATE([Last Review Date], IF([Due Frequency]="Annual", 12, IF([Due Frequency]="Semi-Annual", 6, IF([Due Frequency]="Quarterly", 3, 0)))– Automatically calculates the next review due date.=COUNTIFS(ComplianceItems[Regulation], "GDPR", ComplianceItems[Status], "Overdue")– Counts overdue items by regulation for dashboard reporting.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual tracking, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Overdue Items in Dashboard: Red fill with white text for items where "Next Review Due" is before today.
- Due Soon: Yellow fill if due within 30 days.
- Prioritized Items: Orange background for "High" priority requirements in the Compliance Items sheet.
