Formulas Required
The template leverages several advanced Excel functions to ensure automatic updates and accuracy:- Progress Calculation:
=IF(ISBLANK(DataEntry!B:B), 0, MIN((DataEntry!ActualValueColumn / KPIList!TargetValueColumn)*100, 100)) - Status Flag Logic:
=IF(Progress > 95%, "Completed", IF(Progress > 85%, "On Track", IF(Progress > 60%, "At Risk", "Delayed"))) - Dynamic Gantt Bar Width (in chart):
Use DATE functions to calculate the duration between Start and End Dates, then map this proportionally in the bar chart. - Summary Metrics on Dashboard:
=COUNTIFS(KPIList!StatusFlagColumn, "Completed")for completed KPIs
=AVERAGEIF(KPIList!ProgressColumn, ">", 0)for average performance rate
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply these rules to enhance visual interpretation:- KPI Progress Bars: Use color scales (Green → Yellow → Red) based on % completion.
- Status Flag Cells: Apply background colors: Green for "On Track", Amber for "At Risk", Red for "Delayed", Blue for "Completed".
- Dates: Highlight due dates within 7 days as orange; overdue dates in red.
- Actual vs Target Comparison: Color code cells where actual value exceeds target in green, below target in red.
