Formulas Required

The template leverages several key formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual work:

• Status Indicator in KPI Tracker: =IF([@Current Value]/[@Target Value] >= 1, "Exceeded", IF([@Current Value]/[@Target Value] >= 0.9, "On Track", "Behind"))
• % to Target: =ROUND(([@Current Value]/[@Target Value])*100, 1)&"%"
• Date Completed Auto-fill: =IF(AND([@Status]="Completed", [@Date Completed]=""), TODAY(), [@Date Completed])
• Task Completion Rate (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(TasksList[Status], "Completed")/COUNTA(TasksList[Task Name])

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical status changes, the template includes:

• Overdue Tasks: Red fill with bold text for tasks where Due Date < TODAY() and Status ≠ "Completed".
• KPI Status Indicator: Green (On Track), Yellow (Behind), Red (Exceeded) based on percentage thresholds.
• Prioritization Highlighting: High-priority tasks are highlighted in red; medium in yellow; low in light gray.
