Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas for real-time tracking and automation:

• Status Calculation (KPI Tracker):
  =IF(Progress >= 100, "On Track", IF(Progress >= 85, "At Risk", "Behind"))
• Task Status Summary (Dashboard):
  =COUNTIF('To-Do List'!$F:$F, "Completed") / COUNTA('To-Do List'!$A:$A) * 100
• KPI Progress % (Dashboard):
  =SUMPRODUCT((KPI Tracker[Status]="On Track")*1)/COUNT(KPI Tracker[KPI ID])
• Due Soon Tasks (Dashboard):
  =COUNTIFS('To-Do List'!$D:$D, "<="&TODAY()+7, 'To-Do List'!$F:$F, "Not Started")

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual interpretation across sheets:

• KPI Tracker: Color scales for Progress (%) from red (0%) to green (100%).
• To-Do List: Red text for overdue tasks; amber for due within 3 days; green for on time.
• Dashboard: Conditional bars in KPI progress indicators, color-coded status labels.
