Formulas Required
The template leverages several key Excel formulas for automation:
- Progress (%):
=IF(End_Date_Target="", 0, IF(Actual_Savings=0, 0, MIN(100, (Actual_Savings/Estimated_Savings)*100))) - Days Until Deadline:
=IF(ISBLANK(Deadline_Date), "", Deadline_Date - TODAY()) - Status Auto-Update: Conditional logic using nested IFs based on date comparisons.
- Total Savings to Date (Dashboard):
=SUMIFS(Savings_Tracker!$D:$D, Savings_Tracker!$E:$E, "Completed") - Overdue Compliance Count:
=COUNTIFS(Compliance_Tracking_Log!$F:$F, "Overdue", Compliance_Tracking_Log!$D:$D, "<"&TODAY())
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply formatting to enhance visual clarity and urgency:
- Overdue Deadlines (Compliance Log): Red fill with white text for any deadline earlier than TODAY().
- Savings Progress Bar (Savings Tracker): Color scale from green (0%) to red (100%), indicating progress toward goals.
- High Impact Savings: Yellow background for records where Estimated Savings > $5,000.
