Table Structures and Columns (Weekly Compliance Tracker)

The primary data entry sheet contains a structured table named tblComplianceEntries. It includes the following columns:

Formulas Required

• Status Calculation (Status column): Uses a nested IF with DATE and DATEDIF functions to assess whether due date is within 1–7 days (At Risk), past due (>7 days) = Delayed, otherwise On Track.
• Completion %: Calculated using the formula: =IF(Completion%Input="", 0%, Completion%Input)
• Remaining Days to Due Date: =DAYS([@Due Date], TODAY())
• Weekly Summary in KPI Dashboard: Uses SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and AVERAGEIFS across the table:
  • Compliance Compliance Rate: =COUNTIFS(tblComplianceEntries[Status],"Completed") / COUNTA(tblComplianceEntries[Date]) * 100
  • Average Completion %: =AVERAGEIF(tblComplianceEntries[Status], "Completed", tblComplianceEntries[Completion %])

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Due Date Color Coding: If remaining days ≤ 7, highlight cell in yellow. If ≤ 0 (past due), use red background.
• Status Highlighting: "At Risk" → Orange; "Delayed" → Red; "Completed" → Green; "On Track" → Light Green.
• Completion % Progress Bars: Apply data bars to the Completion % column for visual progress tracking.
• KPI Dashboard Values: Use color scales for KPIs: green (high), yellow (medium), red (low).
