Formulas Required

This template leverages Excel formulas to automate data processing:

Employee Status Update: =IF(Attendance!$F2<>"", "Active", "Inactive") – auto-updates employee status based on leave/attendance.
Workload Percentage: =ROUND((ProjectAssignments!C2 / 160) * 100, 1) — calculates workload as a percentage of full-time hours (assumed 160 hrs/month).
Task Completion Average: =AVERAGEIF(PerformanceMetrics!$A:$A, EmployeeOverview!$B2, PerformanceMetrics!$D:$D) – computes average task completion rate per employee.
Attendance Rate: =ROUND((Attendance!E2 / Attendance!C2), 3) – calculates percentage of hours worked vs. scheduled.
Leave Balance Tracker: =150 - SUMIF(Attendance!$A:$A, EmployeeOverview!$B2, Attendance!$F:$F) – dynamically tracks remaining vacation hours.

Conditional Formatting

Apply the following rules for visual insight and error detection:

Overloaded Employees: If Workload Percentage > 100%, highlight cell red with a warning icon.
Absent More Than 3 Days: Highlight cells in Attendance sheet where Absent Days > 3 with orange fill.
Below Target Performance: If Task Completion Rate < 85%, apply yellow background to flag underperformers.
High Attendance Rate: If Attendance Rate > 97%, use green highlight for top performers.
