Table Structures and Columns (Compliance Master Log)

The core table structure is housed in the Compliance Master Log sheet, formatted as an Excel Table (Ctrl+T) for automatic expansion and formula integration.

Formulas Required

• Risk Level Formula (in Risk Level column):
  =IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", Due_Date-TODAY()<7), "High", IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", Due_Date-TODAY()<14), "Medium", "Low"))
• Days Until Due (in a new column):
  =DAYS(Due_Date, TODAY()) → Returns positive number if due in future, negative if overdue.
• Status Color Flag (for conditional formatting):
  Use this to drive dashboard indicators. E.g., use a formula in the Dashboard sheet that references the status and returns "Red", "Yellow", or "Green".
• Compliance Score (per client, in CRM Client Overview):
  =COUNTIFS(Compliance_Master_Log[Client Name],[@[Client Name]], Compliance_Master_Log[Status], "Completed") / COUNTIF(Compliance_Master_Log[Client Name],[@[Client Name]])

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Items: Apply red fill with white text to rows where Days Until Due < 0.
• Risk Level Highlighting: High risk (red), Medium (yellow), Low (green) in the Risk Level column.
• Status Color Coding: Use color scales: Red for "Delayed", Yellow for "At Risk", Green for "Completed".
• Due Within 7 Days: Light orange highlight for entries where Due_Date is within the next 7 days.
