Formulas & Automation

Smart formulas automate data synchronization and dynamic reporting:

=IF(AND([@Progress]% >= 0.9, [@Status] = "On Track"), "On Track", IF([@Progress]% <= 0.6, "Delayed", "At Risk"))
Remaining Time Calculation (Projects Sheet):
=IF([@End Date]<> "", [@End Date]-TODAY(), "Not Set")
KPI Variance from Target (KPIs & Targets Sheet):
=[@Current Value] - [@Target Value] → Displays deviation in numeric terms.
Monthly Progress Average (Progress Tracking Sheet):
Use AVERAGEIFS to pull data by Project ID and Date range for trend analysis.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and enable quick assessment, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

Progress Status Colors (Projects Sheet):
- Green: 90%–100% | Yellow: 70%–89% | Red: Below 70%
KPI Performance Heatmap (KPIs & Targets Sheet):
- Gradient fill from light blue (below target) to dark green (exceeded target)
Overdue Milestones Highlighting:
If a project's end date is in the past and progress is below 90%, highlight row red.
