Table Structures and Columns

Sheet 1: Compliance Tracker (Main Dashboard)

This sheet serves as the central hub for real-time compliance monitoring across all clients.

Sheet 2: Client/Partner Registry

This sheet maintains a master list of all clients and partners with relevant compliance attributes.

Sheet 3: Compliance Tasks & Milestones

This is the core task management sheet, where each compliance requirement is detailed.

Formulas and Automation

The template incorporates several advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual errors:

• Status Indicator Formula: =IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(),[Due Date], "D") < 7, "🔴 Overdue", IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(), [Due Date], "D") < 15, "🟡 At Risk", "🟢 On Track"))
• Quarterly Due Date Calculation: =DATE(YEAR([Last Review]), (ROUNDUP(MONTH([Last Review])/3,0)*3), 1) + 89 (Ensures the due date falls at the end of each quarter)
• Count Compliance Tasks by Status: =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "🟢 On Track") and similar for yellow/red

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Apply color scales—green (On Track), yellow (At Risk), red (Overdue)
• Due Date Column: Highlight cells where the due date is within 15 days with a warning color
• Duplicate Client ID Check: Flag duplicates using "Highlight Cell Rules" to prevent data inconsistencies
