Formulas & Automation

The template leverages Excel’s advanced formula engine to ensure real-time tracking and KPI scoring. Key formulas include:

• Status (Auto): =IF(CURRENT_VALUE >= TARGET_VALUE, "On Track", IF(CURRENT_VALUE >= 0.8*TARGET_VALUE, "At Risk", "Behind"))
• Performance Score (1-10 scale): =MIN(10, MAX(1, (CURRENT_VALUE / TARGET_VALUE) * 10))
• Rolling 30-Day Avg: Used in the Dashboard to smooth out fluctuations: =AVERAGEIFS(CurrentValueRange, DateOfEntryRange, ">=" & TODAY()-30)
• Client Health Score: Weighted average across KPIs: =SUMPRODUCT(PerformanceScores, Weights)/SUM(Weights)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Status Column: "On Track" → Green background; "At Risk" → Yellow; "Behind" → Red.
• Current Value vs. Target: If current value exceeds target by 10%, highlight cell in dark green; if below by 10%, highlight in red.
• Client Health Score: Color scale (Green → Yellow → Red) based on score ranges (8–10 = Green, 6–7.9 = Yellow, Below 6 = Red).
• Missing Data: Highlight blank cells in the "Current Value" column with a pale gray background and icon set (e.g., warning triangle).
