Formulas Required
- Status Calculation in KPI Tracker:
=IF(Progress (%) >= 100, "On Target", IF(Progress (%) > 90, "Ahead", "Behind")) - Auto-fill Last Updated:
=TODAY()(Use a data validation rule to prevent manual override.) - Progress (%) Formula:
=IF(TARGET_VALUE=0, 0, MIN(100, (CURRENT_VALUE/TARGET_VALUE)*100)) - KPI Health Indicator (Color-coded): Use conditional formatting to color cells based on progress: Green ≥ 95%, Yellow 85%-94%, Red ≤ 84%.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses visual cues for quick interpretation:
- KPI Progress (%) cell color: Green (≥95%), Yellow (85%-94%), Red (≤84%).
- Status column: "On Target" = green; "Ahead" = blue; "Behind" = red.
- Task Status column: Color-coded per priority and status for quick scanning.
- Overdue tasks in the Task sheet are highlighted in red if Due Date is before Today’s date.
