Formulas Required

Dynamic calculations ensure real-time updates when data changes.

• Years of Service: =DATEDIF(Hire_Date, TODAY(), "Y")

• Absence Rate: =Absenteeism_Days / 260 (assuming a standard work year of 260 days).
• Turnover Risk Score Adjustment Factor: =IF(Turnover_Risk_Score > 8, "High", IF(Turnover_Risk_Score > 5, "Medium", "Low"))
• Net Human Capital Equity (NHE): =TVS – (Compensation * (Absence_Rate + Turnover_Risk_Score/10)) / 2
• Summary Totals: Use SUMIFS, AVERAGEIF, and COUNTIF to aggregate across departments and roles.
