TABLE STRUCTURES AND DATA FIELDS

1. KPI Tracker Sheet (Core Data Table)

This is the central table where all KPI data is entered.

Column	Data Type	Description
Period Date	Date (YYYY-MM-DD)	Specific date or month-end date when the KPI was measured.
KPI Name	Text/Short String	Name of the KPI (e.g., "Customer Satisfaction Score", "Monthly Revenue").
Department / Team	Text / Dropdown List (Named Range)	Assigns the KPI to a business unit. Predefined list for consistency.
Target Value	Numeric (Decimal/Integer)	The benchmark or goal value for the KPI.
Actual Value	Numeric (Decimal/Integer)	The measured result for the current period.
Variance (Actual - Target)	Numeric Formula	Calculated as: =Actual Value - Target Value
Variance %	Percentage Formula	Calculated as: =(Variance / ABS(Target)) * 100, with error handling.
Status	Text / Conditional Logic (Dropdown or Auto)	Automatically populated as "On Target", "Above Target", "Below Target" based on variance.

2. Monthly Summary Sheet

Aggregates data from the KPI Tracker by month.

Column Data Type Description

Month (YYYY-MM) Date/Text Format Month of data aggregation.

Total KPIs Tracked Numeric Formula =COUNTA('KPI Tracker'!A:A) where Period Date is in the specified month.

On Target % Percentage Formula =COUNTIF(Status Range, "On Target") / Total KPIs Tracked

Average Variance %

Numeric Formula

3. Departmental Breakdown Sheet

Organizes KPIs by team for department-specific monitoring.

Column	Data Type	Description
Department Name	Text / List (from tracker)	Each assigned team.

FORMULAS REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATION

The following key formulas are implemented in various sheets to ensure dynamic, real-time updates:

Conditional Status (KPI Tracker): =IF(Actual Value >= Target Value, "On Target", IF(Actual Value > Target Value * 1.05, "Above Target", "Below Target"))
Variance % with Error Handling: =IF(Target = 0, IF(Actual = 0, 0, "N/A"), (Actual - Target)/ABS(Target) * 100)
Monthly Aggregation: =COUNTIFS('KPI Tracker'!A:A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(StartDate),MONTH(StartDate),1), 'KPI Tracker'!A:A, "<="&EOMONTH(StartDate,0))
Department Average: =AVERAGEIF('KPI Tracker'!C:C, DepartmentName, 'KPI Tracker'!F:F)

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

To enhance visual clarity and allow for quick performance assessment:

Status Color Coding: "On Target" = Green, "Above Target" = Light Green, "Below Target" = Red.
Variance % Bars: Data bars applied to Variance % column (positive bar in green, negative bar in red).
KPI Tracker Row Highlighting: Rows where Actual Value is below Target are highlighted in yellow; if variance exceeds 10%, marked with a bold red border.
Dashboard KPIs: Conditional formatting on performance metrics (e.g., % On Target) to change color based on threshold: Green (>85%), Yellow (70–85%), Red (<70%).
