5. Dashboards & Reports (Visual Summary)

This sheet pulls data from the above sheets and generates summary charts.

Columns, Data Types & Formulas

- All dates are stored as Date/Time data types. - Percentages use numeric type with formulas like `=C4/D4` for progress calculation. - Status fields use dropdowns (text) with validation rules. - Formulas used include:

=IF(Progress% >=90%, "On Track", IF(Progress% >=50%, "At Risk", "Off Track")) for dynamic status updates.
=SUMIFS(Progress_Column, Status_Column, "On Track") to calculate on-track progress totals.
=COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column) for completion rate percentage.

Conditional Formatting Rules

- Progress bar (in Progress Tracking sheet): Green if ≥90%, Yellow if 50–89%, Red if <50%. - Status cells: Highlight "At Risk" in orange, "Completed" in green. - Priority levels: High → red, Medium → yellow, Low → gray. - Goal due dates: Cells turn red if today > End Date (using =IF(TODAY()>End_Date,"Red","")).
