Table Structures & Columns (Day-by-Day Schedule Planner)

The main planning sheet contains a dynamic table structured to support daily tracking:

Formulas Required

• Progress (%): =IF(TargetValue=0, 0, ActualValue/TargetValue)
• Status Label: =IF(Progress>=1.0, "On Track", IF(Progress>=0.8, "At Risk", "Delayed"))
• Automated Date Entry (Next Day): =TODAY() for current day or use a formula like =MAX('Day-by-Day Schedule Planner'!A:A)+1 for sequential dates.
• Data Validation Rules: Apply dropdown lists to KPI Name and Owner columns using named ranges from the KPI Definitions sheet.
