Formulas Required for Automation and Compliance Checks
To ensure real-time compliance tracking, several advanced formulas are embedded across sheets:
- Compliance Flag (Meal Planner!G5):
=IF(OR(E5="Yes", NOT(ISBLANK(D5))), "⚠️ High Risk", IF(F5="Gluten-Free" AND ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wheat", D5)), "❌ Non-Compliant", "✅ Compliant"))
This checks for allergen presence or non-compliance with dietary categories. - Last Updated By (Meal Planner!I5):
=IF(ROW()=5, USERNAME(), "")
(Note: Requires VBA to fetch logged-in user; otherwise, use =USER.NAME()) - Compliance Score (Dashboard!B2):
=ROUND((COUNTIF(ComplianceLog!C:C,"Complete") / COUNTA(ComplianceLog!A:A)) * 100, 1) & "%"
Calculates percentage of completed training events.
Conditional Formatting for Visual Compliance Indicators
Dynamic visual cues highlight compliance issues and achievements:
- Meal Planner!G:G (Compliance Flag):
- Red text with light red background for "❌ Non-Compliant"
- Amber text with yellow background for "⚠️ High Risk"
- Green text with light green background for "✅ Compliant" - Meal Planner!E:E (Allergens Present?):
Conditional format: If "Yes", fill cell in bright red. - Dietary Preferences & Allergies!B:B:
Highlight cells containing common allergens (e.g., "peanut", "dairy") with a yellow warning icon.
