|---|---|---|
| KPI ID | Text (e.g., KPI-001) | Unique identifier for each KPI. Use auto-incrementing pattern. |

| Current Value | Number (dynamic input) | Data entered weekly or monthly from data sources. |
| Last Updated | Date (auto-formatted) | Auto-filled using =TODAY() or manually updated. |
| Progress (%) | Percentage (calculated) | Formula: =IF(Target Value=0, 0, MIN(100, Current Value / Target Value * 100)) |

Key Formulas and Automation
To ensure the template remains dynamic and error-free:=IF(TargetValue=0, 0, MIN(100, CurrentValue/TargetValue * 100)) → Progress (%) =IF(Progress<75%, "Behind", IF(Progress<95%, "At Risk", "On Track")) → Status =DATEDIF(StartDate, EndDate, "d") → Duration in days =COUNTIFS(StatusColumn, "<>Complete") → Number of pending tasks
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply these rules to enhance visual clarity:- KPI Progress: Green for ≥95%, yellow for 75–94%, red for <75%
- Status Column: Color-coded: green (Complete), yellow (In Progress), red (Delayed)
- Dates: Highlight overdue tasks in red if End Date is earlier than today
