To enable dynamic tracking, the following formulas are embedded across sheets:- Auto-date entry: In cell A2 of Daily Compliance Log:
=TODAY()(with conditional formatting to prevent manual changes). - Status Color Logic: Use
=IF(Status="Completed", "Green", IF(Status="Failed", "Red", IF(Status="Delayed", "Orange", "Gray"))for conditional formatting. - Compliance Rate: In Summary Dashboard:
=COUNTIF(DailyLog!E:E, "Completed") / COUNTA(DailyLog!A:A) * 100 - Pull Due Date from Reference Sheet: Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull the Due Date from the Compliance Standards Reference based on Task ID.
- Overdue Check: Formula:
=IF(AND(DueDate - Total Delayed Items:
=COUNTIFS(DailyLog!E:E, "Delayed", DailyLog!A:A, ">="&TODAY()-30)
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply these rules to enhance readability and visibility:- Due Date Coloring: Highlight due dates in red if today’s date > Due Date AND status ≠ Completed.
- Status-Based Cell Colors: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Failed", Orange for "Delayed".
- Daily Task Highlighting: Shade entire row in light blue if Date = TODAY().
