The planner supports one full week at a time but can be extended across months with minimal effort using the built-in template duplication feature.

1. 1. KPI Dashboard: A high-level summary view showing current status, progress trends, and upcoming targets.
2. 2. Weekly Tracker: The main data input sheet where users log daily activities and KPI results.
3. 3. KPI Library: A reference sheet containing predefined KPIs with targets and categories for easy selection.
4. 4. Instructions & Tips: A guided help sheet with step-by-step usage instructions, examples, and best practices.

Table Structures and Columns (Weekly Tracker Sheet)

The Weekly Tracker sheet is organized into a detailed table structure for efficient data entry:

Formulas Required for Automation

To ensure real-time tracking and minimal manual work, the following formulas are implemented:

• Status (F): =IF(E2="", "N/A", IF(E2>=D2, "Exceeded", IF(E2>=D2*0.8, "On Track", "Behind"))) – Evaluates performance against target.
• Weekly Average (in Dashboard): =AVERAGEIFS('Weekly Tracker'!E:E, 'Weekly Tracker'!C:C, A2) – Calculates average actual values per KPI.
• Progress Rate (KPI Dashboard): =IFERROR(AVERAGEIFs('Weekly Tracker'!F:F, 'Weekly Tracker'!C:C, "On Track"), 0)
• Target Completion %: =AVERAGE( IF('Weekly Tracker'!E:E >= 'Weekly Tracker'!D:D, 100%, IF('Weekly Tracker'!E:E >= 'Weekly Tracker'!D:D*0.8, 50%, 0)) ) – Measures overall success rate.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and visual feedback:

• Status Column (F): Green "Exceeded", Yellow "On Track", Red "Behind"
• Actual vs. Target (E vs D): Conditional highlight based on comparison; red if below 80% of target.
• Progress Bars in Dashboard: Mini bar charts visualizing KPI completion for each week.
