Table Structure and Columns (Data Input Sheet)

Column Name	Data Type	Description & Purpose
Date (MM/DD/YYYY)	Date (Short Date Format)	Primary timestamp for each entry. Used to track KPIs and time over time.
KPI Name	Text/Text List (Dropdown)	List of predefined KPIs: e.g., "Customer Acquisition Cost", "Revenue Growth", "Project Completion Rate". Dropdown ensures consistency.
Target Value	Numeric (Decimal)	Planned or expected value for this KPI on the specified date.
Actual Value	Numeric (Decimal)	Measured outcome of the KPI on the given date. This is where user input occurs.
Time Logged (Hours)	Numeric (Decimal, e.g., 2.5)	Number of hours spent working directly on this KPI activity or related task.
Hourly Rate ($)	Numeric (Currency Format)	Standard hourly cost for the employee or team responsible. Can be adjusted per department.

Status	Text (Dropdown: On Track, At Risk, Delayed, Exceeded)	Visual status indicator showing performance relative to target. Helps prioritize attention.

Required Formulas

Cost Incurred ($): =IF(AND(B2<>"", C2<>""), D2*E2, 0)
This multiplies time logged by the hourly rate to compute direct labor cost associated with the KPI.
Performance Variance: =IF(OR(C2="",D2=""), "", (D2-C2)/C2)
Calculates percentage deviation from target. Negative = underperformance; positive = overperformance.
Status Indicator: =IF(D2>C2, "Exceeded", IF(D2 Automatically assigns a status based on actual vs. target thresholds.


    Monthly Total Hours (per KPI): Use SUMIFS to aggregate hours by month and KPI for reporting.
    Monthly Cost Summary: Use SUMIFS with the "Cost Incurred" column to total expenses per period.



Conditional Formatting Rules (for Data Input & Dashboard Sheets)


    Status Column: Color-coded:
        
            Green: Exceeded
            Yellow: At Risk (95%–98% of target)
            Red: Delayed (below 95%)
            Blue: On Track (98%–100%)
        
    
    Performance Variance: Green for positive values, red for negative.
    KPI Progress Bar: In the dashboard, use data bars to show how close actuals are to targets.
