A master table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Format |

| Status (Automated) | Text (Conditional) | Displays "On Track", "At Risk", or "Behind" based on comparison to target |
| Variance (%) | Formula-based (% of Target) | (Current Value - Target) / Target * 100 |
Sheet 3: Task & Milestone Log
This table tracks individual project activities and milestones:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Format |

Formulas Required
- Status in KPI Tracking Sheet:
=IF(CURRENT_VALUE >= TARGET_VALUE, "On Track", IF(CURRENT_VALUE >= TARGET_VALUE * 0.9, "At Risk", "Behind")) - Variance Calculation:
=(Current_Value - Target_Value)/Target_Value * 100 - Last Updated Auto-Date:
=IF(ISBLANK(LastUpdatedCell), TODAY(), LastUpdatedCell) - Project Completion % (Dashboard):
=SUMIF(TaskStatusRange, "Completed", CompletionPercentRange) / COUNTA(TaskIDRange) * 100 - KPI Health Index:
=COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "On Track") / COUNTA(KPIIDColumn)
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and immediate status recognition:
- Green fill for cells where Status = “On Track”
- Yellow fill for Status = “At Risk”
- Red fill for Status = “Behind”
- Gradient color scale applied to the "Variance (%)" column, showing red (negative) and green (positive)
- Icon sets in the Status column: Green checkmark, yellow exclamation mark, red cross
- Highlight overdue tasks in the Task Log with bold red text if End Date is before TODAY()
