Formulas Required

The template uses built-in Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual input errors:

Client ID Auto-Generation (Column A): =IF(B5<>"", "EDC-"&TEXT(COUNTA($B$5:$B$100)+1,"000"), "") This generates a unique ID (e.g., EDC-001) for each new client.
Progress Percentage (Column I): =IF(OR(H5="Admitted", H5="Denied"), 100, IF(G5<>"", IF(TODAY()>G5, 90, IF(J5-TODAY()<=7, 80, IF(J5-TODAY()<=30, 60, IF(J5-TODAY()<=60, 40, 20)))), "") This dynamically calculates progress based on deadlines and current status.
Status Color Indicator (Conditional Formatting): Uses formulas to apply colors: e.g., red if deadline is within 7 days; yellow if within 30 days; green otherwise.

Conditional Formatting

The template uses advanced conditional formatting to visually represent client status and urgency:

Deadline Status: If the “Application Deadline” (Column G) is within 7 days of today, the cell turns red.
Next Step Urgency: If “Next Step Due Date” (Column J) is in the next 3 days, it highlights in amber.
Status Column Color Coding: - Green: Admitted - Yellow: In Progress / Interview Scheduled - Red: Denied or Overdue - Blue: Prospecting
