Formulas and Calculations

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and insights:

Employee Workload Balance: On the "Summary Dashboard", use: =SUMIFS('Employee Assignments'!$E$2:$E$100, 'Employee Assignments'!$B$2:$B$100, A2) to sum weekly hours for each employee and compare with max capacity (40 hrs).
Project Duration: In "Project Plan Detail": =IF(AND([@Start Date],[@End Date]), [@End Date] - [@Start Date] + 1, "")
Active Projects Count (per Employee): =COUNTIFS('Employee Assignments'!$B:$B, A2, 'Employee Assignments'!$F:$F, "Active")
Project Status Indicator: Use conditional logic to flag overdue projects: =IF(AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@End Date]


    Average Performance Rating: On Summary Dashboard:  
        =AVERAGEIF('Employee Master'!$H:$H, "<>Resigned", 'Employee Master'!$I:$I)



Conditional Formatting Rules

Apply the following formatting to enhance visual clarity:


    Overdue Projects: Highlight cells in red if End Date < Today and Status ≠ Completed.
    High Workload Employees: Use data bars or color scales to identify employees assigned >35 hrs/week.
    Status Columns (Project Plan): Color-code status: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Overdue", Gray for "On Hold".
    Performance Ratings: Apply icon sets (1–5 stars) to visually represent performance levels.
    Progress %: Use a traffic light system (Red < 30%, Yellow 30–70%, Green > 70%).
