Formulas Required
- Progress (%):
Formula: `=IF(Actual_Start_Date<>"", IF(Actual_End_Date<>"", 100, (TODAY()-Start_Date)/(End_Date-Start_Date)*100), "")` - Status Color Code:
Formula: `=IF(Status="Completed", "Green", IF(Status="Blocked", "Red", IF(Progress<50, "Amber", "Green")))` (Used for conditional formatting) - KPI Current Value:
Formula (example): `=VLOOKUP(KPI_Associated, 'KPI Definitions & Targets'!A:E, 4, FALSE)` to pull in target; actual value pulled from daily log. - On-Time Delivery Rate KPI:
Formula: `=COUNTIF(Deliverables_Column, "Completed") / COUNT(Deliverables_Column)`
Conditional Formatting
Apply the following rules to enhance visual tracking:
- Status Column: Use color scales (Red → Green) for status indicators.
- KPI Current Value vs. Target: Highlight cells where current value is below target in red; above target in green.
- Progress (%) Column: Use data bars to visualize completion levels.
- Due Dates (within 3 days): Conditional format due dates that are within the next 3 days as amber.
