=IF(EndDate="", 0, IF(Today() >= EndDate, 100, (Today()-StartDate)/(EndDate-StartDate)*100)) - Next Due Date (Maintenance):
=IF(Frequency="Monthly", DATE(YEAR(LastCompleted)+IF(MONTH(LastCompleted)=12, 1, 0), IF(MONTH(LastCompleted)=12, 1, MONTH(LastCompleted)+1), DAY(LastCompleted)), "Annually", DATE(YEAR(LastCompleted)+1, MONTH(LastCompleted), DAY(LastCompleted))) - Cost Difference:
=ActualCost - EstimatedCost - Status Indicator (Dashboard): Uses nested IF statements to categorize status based on progress and date.
Conditional Formatting Rules
The template includes dynamic visual cues:- Progress Bars: Data bars applied to the “Progress (%)” column in the Dashboard for intuitive visualization.
- Status Color Coding:
- Red: “Overdue” if current date > End Date and status ≠ Completed
- Yellow: “Due in 7 days” (within next week)
- Green: "On Track" or "Completed"
- Budget Variance: Red text if actual cost exceeds estimated by more than 10%; green if under budget.
