Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and automate calculations:
- Employee Count by Department (Summary Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS('Employee Master List'!$C:$C, "Engineering", 'Employee Master List'!$F:$F, "Active") - Projects Currently Active:
=COUNTIFS('Project Tracker'!$D:$D, "<"&TODAY(), 'Project Tracker'!$E:$E, ">"&TODAY()) - Resource Utilization % (per employee):
=SUMIFS('Employee-Project Assignment Log'!$G:$G, 'Employee-Project Assignment Log'!$B:$B, A2) / 40 (assuming 40 hrs/week max) - Overdue Projects:
=COUNTIFS('Project Tracker'!$E:$E, "<"&TODAY(), 'Project Tracker'!$D:$D, "In Progress")
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight key insights:
- Overdue Projects: Red fill with white text if Target End Date is before today.
- High Resource Utilization: Amber fill (80–100%) or red (over 100%) if total weekly hours exceed capacity.
- Employee Status Alerts: Red border for "Resigned" employees to flag inactive staff.
- Budget Variance: Green for under budget, red for over budget (calculated as: Actual Cost – Budget).
