Formulas Required

Auto-ID Generation (Compliance Tracker):
```
=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY-MM-DD")&"-C-"&TEXT(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)+1,"000")
```
This creates a unique ID based on date and increment.
Payback Period (Savings Log):
```
=IF(F2=0, "N/A", ROUND(E2/F2,1))
```
Prevents division by zero and rounds to one decimal.

Status Color Code:

=IF(OR(H2="Delayed",H2="At Risk"), "Red", IF(H2="Complete","Green","Yellow"))

Used for conditional formatting logic.

Dashboard KPI Formulas (in Dashboard Overview):
- Total Active Compliance Items: =COUNTIF('Compliance Tracker'!H:H,"<>Complete")
- Total Projected Savings: =SUM('Savings Log'!F:F)
- Average Payback Period: =AVERAGEIF('Savings Log'!G:G,">0",'Savings Log'!G:G)

Conditional Formatting

Due Date Reminder (Compliance Tracker):
- If Due Date is within 7 days and Status ≠ "Complete": Highlight cell red.
- If Due Date is within 15 days: Yellow background.
Status Indicators:
- Red for Delayed/At Risk; Green for Complete; Yellow for In Progress.
- Icon sets (traffic lights) used in Status column.
Savings Performance:
- Color scale: Green to Red based on % of target savings achieved (Actual / Target).
- Highlights initiatives with less than 50% target achievement in red.
