Includes interactive visualizations: - Bar chart: Projects by Status - Line graph: % Complete vs. Time (monthly trend) - Pie chart: Budget Variance Distribution - Gantt-style timeline view of all projects with color-coded status barsFormulas Required
1. **% Complete Formula**: `=IF(ActualEndDate<>"", 100%, IF(EstimatedStartDate="", "", (TODAY()-Start_Date)/((Target_End_Date-Start_Date)*1.0)))` *(Rounded to nearest whole number and capped at 100%)* 2. **Variance (%) Calculation**: `=IF(ActualSpend="", "", (ActualSpend - EstimatedBudget) / EstimatedBudget * 100)` 3. **Status Color Coding Logic** (used in Conditional Formatting): Use a formula to conditionally format cell based on value: ```excel =AND(Status="Delayed", %Complete<50) =AND(Status="Completed", %Complete=100) ```Conditional Formatting
- **Status Column**: - "Not Started" → Light gray - "In Progress" → Yellow - "On Hold" → Orange - "Delayed" → Red (with bold text) - "Completed" → Green - **% Complete Column**: Color scale from green (0%) to red (100%), with thresholds at 50%, 75%, and 90%. - **Variance (%) Column**: Negative values → Blue background, Positive values → Red backgroundInstructions for the User
