Formulas Required
- Status Color Logic (Conditional Formatting): Uses formulas to assign background colors based on status (e.g., green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Blocked").
- Progress Percentage Formula**: In the Dashboard Summary, calculates goal progress via:
=IF(C2="",0,IF(D2>0,(E2/D2),1)), where C=actual value, D=target value. - Dates & Auto-Update**: Uses `TODAY()` and `EDATE()` to auto-calculate milestones and highlight overdue entries.
- Monthly Summary**: Uses a combination of `FILTER` (in Excel 365) or `SUMIFS` to aggregate monthly data by goal category.
- Priority Weighting**: Calculates total weighted score using:
=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C100, D2:D100).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Cells**: Apply conditional formatting based on value:
- Green if Status = "Completed"
- Yellow if Status = "In Progress"
- Red if Status = "Blocked" or "Overdue"
- Due Date Highlighting**: Cells with dates before today turn red; those within 7 days of due date turn orange.
- High Priority Goals**: Cells in the "Prioritization" column where value is "Critical" or "High" are highlighted in bold blue.
- Progress Bar**: In Dashboard, use data bars for each goal's progress (e.g., 60% progress → 60% filled bar).
Instructions for the User
