Sheet Names and Structure

The template consists of three main sheets:

1. Daily KPI List: The primary interface where all tasks and KPIs are tracked on a daily basis.
2. Data Dashboard: A dynamic summary sheet showing real-time performance metrics, completion rates, trends, and visualizations.
3. Instructions & Examples: A guide sheet with setup instructions, sample data entries, formula explanations, and best practices for using the template effectively.

Table Structure in "Daily KPI List" Sheet

The main tracking table in the "Daily KPI List" sheet uses a shopping list format. Each row represents a specific daily task or objective tied to a measurable KPI. The structure is designed for quick updates and clarity at a glance.

Columns and Data Types

• Item ID (Text): A unique identifier for each KPI task (e.g., KPI001, KPI002).
• KPI Name (Text): Descriptive title of the performance indicator.
• Target Value (Number or Text): The benchmark or goal for the metric (e.g., $2,500, >95%, 1,200).
• Current Value (Today) (Number/Text): The actual value achieved during the day.
• Status (✓/✗) (Boolean or Text): Indicates whether the target was met.
• Completion Date/Time (Date & Time): When the KPI was completed and recorded.
• Priority Level (1-5) (Number): 1 = Low, 5 = Critical. Helps users focus on high-impact items.
• Notes / Actions Taken (Text): Free-form field for comments, context, or follow-up actions.

Formulas Required

The template automates tracking and analysis through built-in formulas:

• Status Formula: In the Status column, use: =IF(AND(CurrentValue >= TargetValue), "✓", "✗") *(Note: For percentage or text targets like ">95%", use a custom formula to parse and compare.)*
• Completion Rate (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "✓") / COUNTA(StatusColumn)
• Prioritized Task Count: =COUNTIF(PriorityLevelRange, ">=4") (to count high-priority KPIs completed)
• Target vs. Actual Difference: =Current - Target (for numeric targets), formatted to show positive/negative.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Highlighting: Use green tick (✓) for completed, red cross (✗) for incomplete.
• Priority Levels: Color-code cells based on priority: Red (5), Orange (4), Yellow (3), Blue (2), Gray (1).
• Performance Gap: Highlight cells where Current Value is below Target in red; above target in green.
• Completion Rate Badge: Use a traffic light indicator on the dashboard for completion rate: Green (>80%), Yellow (60–80%), Red (<60%).
