KPI Tracking: A detailed table where each KPI is defined with targets, actuals, dates, and performance calculations.
To-Do List: A dynamic task management system that allows users to create, assign, track progress on daily and weekly tasks linked to KPIs.
Monthly Review Log: A historical record of monthly achievements, challenges faced, and action items for improvement.

KPI Dashboard Sheet

Formulas Required

To ensure automation, the following formulas are essential:

Performance %: =IFERROR((Actual Value / Target Value) * 100, 0)
Status Indicator: =IF(Performance % >= 100, "Exceeded", IF(Performance % >= 85, "On Track", "Behind"))
Task Countdown: In Dashboard: =IF(Due Date - TODAY() <= 3, "Urgent", IF(Due Date - TODAY() <= 7, "Due Soon", ""))
Total Tasks per KPI: Use COUNTIF to count how many tasks are linked to each KPI.
KPI Goal Progress Bar: Use Excel’s Data Bars conditional formatting based on Performance %.

Conditional Formatting

Apply these rules for visual clarity:

KPI Status: Green fill for "Exceeded", yellow for "On Track", red for "Behind".
Task Due Date: Highlight in red if due date is within 3 days; yellow if within 7 days.
KPI Performance %: Use color scales (green-to-red) to show performance levels from low to high.
To-Do List Status: Color-code cells based on status: Red for "Delayed", green for "Completed".
