Formulas & Automation

The template leverages several built-in Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and reduce manual effort:

• Dynamic Date Input: Uses the formula =TODAY() – MOD(TODAY()-1,7) to auto-generate the start of the current week.
• Target Value Lookup: VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP function from "KPI Definitions & Targets" sheet based on KPI Name and week date.
• Progress Calculation: =IF(Target>0, (Actual/Target)*100, 0) to calculate performance percentage.
• Status Indicator: =IF(Progress>=95%, "On Track", IF(Progress>=85%, "At Risk", "Behind"))

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and performance monitoring:

• Progress (%) column: Color scales from green (≥95%) to yellow (85–94%) to red (<85%).
• Status column: Text color changes based on status—green for "On Track", amber for "At Risk", and red for "Behind".
• Rows with KPIs below target are highlighted in light pink.
• Headers use bold, dark blue font with white background.
