Formulas Required

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual errors. Key formulas include:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, KPIs_List!$A$2:$F$100, 5, FALSE), "") – Populates Target Value from the KPI list.
=IF(B2="","", (B2 - C2)) – Calculates variance between actual and target.
=IF(D2=0, "N/A", IF(D2<0, "Off Track", IF(D2>-0.1,"At Risk", "On Track"))) – Status indicator using threshold logic.
=ROUND((Actual_Value / Target_Value) * 100, 2) – Calculates percentage achievement (used in Performance History).
=IF(AND(COUNTIF(History!C:C, A2)>2, INDEX(History!D:D,MATCH(A2,History!A:A,0)) – Detects trend direction across three months.



    
        Conditional Formatting Rules
        The template applies visual cues for faster insight:
        
            Status Column: Green background for "On Track", yellow for "At Risk", red for "Off Track".
            % Achievement: Color scale from red (0%) to green (100%+).
            Variance: Red font if negative, green if positive.
            Trend Direction: Displays ↑ or ↓ with color-coded arrows.
