Required Formulas
- **Progress Percentage (KPI Tracker):**

This ensures no division by zero and caps progress at 100%.
- **Status Label (KPI Tracker):**
`=IF([@Progress %] >= 95%, "Ahead", IF([@Progress %] >= 75%, "On Track", "Behind"))`
- **Monthly Average (Dashboard):**
`=AVERAGEIFS(KPI_Tracker[Actual], KPI_Tracker[Category], A2)`
Where A2 contains the category name.
- **Goal Completion Rate (Dashboard):**
`=COUNTIF(KPI_Tracker[Status], "On Track") + COUNTIF(KPI_Tracker[Status], "Ahead")`
- **Remaining Days to Goal (Calendar Sheet):**
`=IF(TODAY() <= EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0), EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0) - TODAY() + 1, 0)`
Useful for time-sensitive goals.
Conditional Formatting
- Progress % Cell Color: Green (≥95%), Yellow (75%–94%), Red (<75%)
- Status Cell Highlighting: "Ahead" = Bright green, "On Track" = Light blue, "Behind" = Orange-red
- Task Completion: Checkmark filled in green when marked complete; gray if incomplete.
