KPI Targets & Goals (Sheet: KPI Targets & Goals)

This sheet defines what the user is measuring and tracking. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | KPI Name | Text | E.g., "Hours Studied Per Week", "Blog Posts Published" | | Target Value (Monthly/Weekly) | Number | Goal amount (e.g., 10 hours, 3 posts) | | Current Progress (Cumulative) | Number (calculated) | Auto-updated from time log data | | Target Deadline | Date | When the goal should be achieved | | Status (In Progress / On Track / At Risk / Complete) | Text (Conditional formatting-driven) | Automated status based on progress vs. deadline |

Monthly Summary (Sheet: Monthly Summary)

Aggregates daily data for monthly performance evaluation. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Month-Year | Date (display only) | e.g., May 2024 | | Total Hours Tracked | Number (sum) | Sum of Duration (Minutes)/60 from Daily Time Log | | Hours by Category | Number per category (e.g., Work, Study) | Sums duration grouped by Project Category | | KPIs Met This Month (%) | Percentage | Calculated as Count of completed KPIs / Total KPIs | | Avg. Daily Time Logged | Number (average) | Average of daily durations |

Formulas Required:

Daily Time Log - Duration (Minutes): =IF(End_Time="", "", (End_Time - Start_Time)*1440) This formula calculates time difference in minutes, accounting for proper date/time arithmetic in Excel.
KPI Targets & Goals - Current Progress: =SUMIFS('Daily Time Log'!F:F, 'Daily Time Log'!C:C, [@Category], 'Daily Time Log'!E:E, "Yes") (Assumes KPI Tagged? is Yes/No in column E and category matches)
Monthly Summary - Total Hours Tracked: =SUMIFS('Daily Time Log'!F:F, 'Daily Time Log'!A:A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), 'Daily Time Log'!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)) / 60
Status Indicator: =IF(AND(Current Progress >= Target Value, TODAY() >= Deadline), "Complete", IF(TODAY() > Deadline, "At Risk", IF(Current Progress >= Target Value * 0.7, "On Track", "In Progress"))

Conditional Formatting:

Overdue Tasks: Highlight red if deadline is in the past and status is not “Complete”.
KPI Progress Bars: Apply data bars to visualize progress toward each KPI target (e.g., 0–100%)
Daily Log Duration: Color-code entries over 2 hours in red, under 30 minutes in gray.
Dashboard Metrics: Use color scales (green to red) for monthly KPI completion percentage.

User Instructions:

Setup: Open the workbook and go to "KPI Targets & Goals" to define your personal metrics (e.g., "Complete 5 coding projects", "Study 10 hours per week").
Daily Use: Open the “Daily Time Log” each day. Enter task name, start/end times, and check “KPI Tagged?” if applicable.
Automatic Updates: All calculations in other sheets update dynamically—no manual work needed.
Review Monthly: Navigate to the “Monthly Summary” sheet at the end of each month to analyze patterns and adjust goals.
Analyze Dashboard: Use the charts in “Charts & Insights” to visualize trends—e.g., which activities consume most time, or how your KPIs are trending monthly.
