Formulas Required

This template leverages advanced Excel functions to ensure dynamic and accurate data processing:

• Lookup & Reference: VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, or INDEX(MATCH()) used to pull task details from the Master List into the Daily Log.
• Data Aggregation: SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and AVERAGEIFS for performance metrics by date, category, or frequency.
• KPI Weighted Score Calculation:

  =SUMPRODUCT(
    (DailyLog[Score] * MasterList[Weight]),
    --(DailyLog[Date] >= StartDate),
    --(DailyLog[Date] <= EndDate)
  ) / SUMIF(MasterList[Category], SelectedCategory, MasterList[Weight])
          

• On-Time Percentage: =COUNTIFS(DailyLog[Status], "On Time", DailyLog[Date], ">="&Start, DailyLog[Date], "<="&End) / COUNTIF(DailyLog[Date], ">="&Start)

Conditional Formatting

Visual indicators enhance the user experience and allow instant assessment of performance:

• Status Color Coding: "On Time" = Green, "Late" = Orange, "Skipped" = Red.
• KPI Score Heatmap: 5/5 → Dark Green; 3/5 → Yellow; 1–2/5 → Light Red.
• Daily Log Row Highlighting: Automatically highlights rows where the actual completion time exceeds target by more than 10 minutes.
• Dashboard KPI Indicators: Use conditional icons (traffic lights) for performance indicators in the Dashboard sheet.
