3. KPI Definitions & Targets: Reference sheet containing all KPIs with their definitions, targets, units of measurement, and responsible persons.

Table Structures and Columns (Daily KPI Log)

The primary working area is the Daily KPI Log, structured as a dynamic table with the following columns:

Column Name	Data Type	Description & Notes
Date (DD/MM/YYYY)	Date (Auto-generated or manual entry)	Record the date of data entry. Formatted as short date to ensure compatibility with filters and sorting.
KPI Name	Text (List Dropdown)	Dropdown list sourced from "KPI Definitions & Targets" sheet. Ensures consistency across entries.
Target Value	Numeric (Read-only, auto-fetched)	Dynamically populated from the KPI Definitions sheet using VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP based on KPI name.
Actual Value	Numeric (User Input)	Manually entered actual performance data for the day.
Status	Text (Automated)	Formula-driven status: "On Track", "Below Target", or "Exceeded". Based on comparison between Actual and Target.
Variance (%)	Numeric (Calculated, formatted as %)	=(Actual Value – Target Value)/Target Value * 100. Shows deviation from target.
Progress Note	Text (Optional)	Short description of why the value was achieved or missed.

Formulas Required

The template relies on a set of smart, dynamic formulas to automate calculations and maintain data accuracy:

Target Value (Cell F2): =VLOOKUP(B2, 'KPI Definitions & Targets'!A:D, 3, FALSE) – Retrieves target value based on KPI name.
Status (Cell G2): =IF(Actual Value >= Target Value, "On Track", IF(Actual Value > Target Value, "Exceeded", "Below Target"))
Variance (%) (Cell H2): =IF(Target <> 0, (E2 - F2)/F2 * 100, "N/A") – Handles division by zero.
Auto-fill Date: Use Excel's auto-fill or a simple formula like =TODAY() in the first row (editable).
Daily Average Calculation (Dashboard): =AVERAGEIF('Daily KPI Log'!B:B, "Sales Conversion Rate", 'Daily KPI Log'!E:E)

Conditional Formatting

Enhances readability and performance visibility:

Status Column (G:G): Green for "On Track", Red for "Below Target", Blue for "Exceeded".
Variance (%) Column (H:H):
- Green fill and arrow: +10% and above.
- Red fill and down arrow: -10% and below.
- Yellow for between -10% to +10%.
Date Column (A:A): Highlights today’s date in bold and blue.
