This sheet stores all employee-related information in a structured table format:

2. Profit & Performance Tracker Sheet

This is the dynamic core of the template where profitability per employee is calculated on a monthly or quarterly basis:

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template relies on several key formulas for automation and accuracy:

• =VLOOKUP([EID], 'Employee Master List'!$A:$H, 2, FALSE) – Pulls name from master list.
• =IFERROR(VLOOKUP([EID], 'Employee Master List'!$A:$H, 6, FALSE)/12, 0) – Calculates monthly salary cost.
• =IF([Revenue Generated]=0, "N/A", ([Profit Generated]/[Revenue Generated])*100) – Prevents division by zero.
• =RANK.EQ([Profit Generated], [Range of Profit Columns], 0) – Ranks performance from highest to lowest.
• =SUMIF('Employee Master List'!$A:$A, [EID], 'Profit & Performance Tracker'!$F:$F) – Aggregates total profit per employee across periods.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance data visibility and quick insight recognition:

• Profit Generated (Positive/Negative): Green fill for positive values, red fill for negative. Applies to the entire Profit Generated column.
• Profit Margin (%): Color scale: Red (0–30%), Yellow (31–50%), Green (>50%). Highlights high-performing employees.
• Performance Rank: Conditional formatting with data bars for the Rank column, visually showing top performers.
• Status in Master List: Color-coded badges: Blue for Active, Gray for On Leave, Red for Terminated/Resigned.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

1. Populate Employee Master List: Enter employee details including EID, name, title, department, hire date, and annual salary.
