2. KPI Metrics Sheet

A reference sheet listing all tracked KPIs with definitions and calculation formulas.

Formulas Required

The template leverages built-in Excel functions to automate calculations and maintain data accuracy:

• IF/AND/OR Logic: For categorizing clients based on risk level (e.g., if Satisfaction < 3 OR Support Tickets > 10 → "Churn Risk").
• COUNTIFS, SUMIFS: To aggregate client data across multiple conditions (e.g., count active clients by account manager).
• Percentage Calculations: For KPIs like renewal rate and on-time delivery.
• LOOKUP Functions (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP): To pull client names or statuses from the main database into the dashboard.
• AVERAGEIFS: To calculate average satisfaction scores by region or account manager.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual interpretation and highlight trends, the following formatting rules are applied:

• KPI Scores (Red/Yellow/Green): Values below 50 in red, 50–79 in yellow, 80+ in green.
• Status Column: "Churn Risk" highlighted in red; "VIP" highlighted with gold background.
• Renewal Probability Score: Bar charts within cells using data bars (green for high, red for low).
