Table Structures & Column Definitions (KPI Tracker Sheet)

The KPI Tracker sheet is structured as a relational table with the following columns and data types:

Formulas Required

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain accuracy:

• Progress %: =IF(OR([@Start Date]="", [@End Date]=""), "", (TODAY() - [@Start Date]) / (DATEDIF([@Start Date], [@End Date], "D") + 1)) Calculates percentage of timeline elapsed. Adjusts for missing dates.
• Status Update: =IF(AND([@Status]="Completed", [@Current Value] >= [@Target Value]), "Met Target", IF(AND([@Status]="Completed", [@Current Value] < [@Target Value]), "Missed Target", "")) Automatically flags whether KPIs met their targets upon completion.
• Days Remaining: =IF([@End Date]="", "", MAX(0, DATEDIF(TODAY(), [@End Date], "D"))) Displays how many days remain until the end date.
• KPI Health Score: =IF([@Status]="Completed", 100, IF([@Status]="Delayed", 50, IF([@Progress %] >= 80%, 90, IF([@Progress %] >= 60%, 75, IF([@Progress %] >= 40%, 55, IF([@Progress %] > 0, 35, "N/A"))))) Calculates a composite health score for dashboard visualization.

Conditional Formatting

The template features intelligent conditional formatting to enhance readability and quick assessment:

• Status Column: Color-codes cells using rules: Green for "Completed", Red for "Delayed", Amber for "At Risk".
• Progress %: Gradient fill from green (high progress) to red (low progress).
• Days Remaining: Conditional rule turns text red if less than 7 days remaining.
• KPI Health Score: Bar chart indicator in the dashboard cell for visual trend comparison.
