Formulas and Automation Features
- Last Interaction Date (Client Master): =MAX(IF(Client ID=[@[Client ID]], [Date of Interaction], "")) – Array formula with proper filtering.
- Next Renewal Date: =DATE(YEAR([Contract Start Date]), MONTH([Contract Start Date]) + [Duration in Months], DAY([Contract Start Date]))
- Client Health Score:
Formula: =IF(OR([@Status]="Inactive", [@Status]="Closed"), 0, IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(), [@Next Renewal Date], "M") > 6, 80, IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(), [@Next Renewal Date], "M") <= 3, 40, IF([@Last Interaction Date] = "", 30, IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(), [@Last Interaction Date], "D") > 90, 50, 85))))) + (COUNTIFS([Status], "Delayed") * -10) + (COUNTIFS([Status], "In Progress", [Pending Tasks Count], ">0") * -5) - Revenue Forecast by Month: Use SUMIFS across Client Master with monthly filters.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Highlight overdue milestones in red: =[@Due Date] < TODAY() && [@Status] ≠ "Completed"
- Color-code Client Status: Active = Green, On Hold = Yellow, Inactive/Closed = Red.
- Health Score color scale (0–30: Red, 31–60: Orange, 61–85: Yellow, 86–100: Green).
- Auto-highlight follow-up required interactions in blue.
