TABLE STRUCTURE AND COLUMNS (Client Performance Metrics Sheet)

The central table on the "Client Performance Metrics" sheet is structured to ensure clarity and ease of data input. Each row represents a client’s KPI for a specific period or reporting cycle.

FORMULAS REQUIRED

Dynamic formulas ensure real-time accuracy and reduce manual errors:

• Performance %: =IF(TARGET_VALUE=0, "N/A", (ACTUAL_VALUE / TARGET_VALUE) * 100)
• Status (Conditional Logic):
  =IF(Performance_Percent >= 95%, "On Track", IF(Performance_Percent >= 85%, "At Risk", "Behind"))
• Last Updated Date: =TODAY() (Auto-updates when cell is edited)
• Average KPI Score per Client: Uses AVERAGEIF to calculate a client’s overall performance across all KPIs.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance visual interpretation and prioritize attention, conditional formatting is applied:

• Performance % Column: Color scales from green (≥95%) to yellow (85–94%) to red (<85%).
• Status Column: Green fill for "On Track", yellow for "At Risk", and red for "Behind".
• Target vs. Actual Comparison: Highlight cells where actual value is below target in bold red text.
• Data Entry Rows (Dynamic): Light blue shading applied to new rows added via data validation.
