Formulas Required

The template leverages a series of dynamic formulas to ensure accuracy and real-time feedback:

=VLOOKUP(KPI ID, 'KPI Master List'!$A$2:$G$100, 3, FALSE)  → Populates KPI Name
=VLOOKUP(KPI ID, 'KPI Master List'!$A$2:$G$100, 4, FALSE)  → Fetches Target Value
=(Actual Value - Target Value)                           → Calculates Variance
=IF(Target <> 0, Actual/Target, 0)                        → Computes Performance % (handles zero targets)
=IF(Performance <= 0.85, "Behind", IF(Performance <= 1.15, "On Track", "Ahead")) → Status logic

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and enable quick assessment of performance:

• Performance (%) column: Color scales from red (below 80%) to green (above 105%).
• Status column: Red text for "Behind", yellow for "At Risk", and green for "On Track".
• Variance column: Negative values highlighted in red; positive in green.
• Week Starting Date: Auto-colors rows based on current week (e.g., light blue highlight for the active week).

User Instructions
