5. Dashboards & Charts Sheet

This is a visual dashboard powered by pivot tables and dynamic charts.

  • Bar chart: Budget vs Actual Spend per Category

  • Pie chart: Distribution of Tasks by Department
  • Progress meter: Overall Project Completion (%) — calculated as average of all tasks’ % Complete
  • Status summary: Number of tasks per status (Not Started, In Progress, etc.) via COUNTIFS()

Formulas Required

  • % Complete = IF(Status="Completed",100, IF(Status="In Progress",50, IF(Status="Not Started",0,"")))
  • Variance = Budgeted - Actual Spent
  • Overall Project Completion: AVERAGE('Action Plan Timeline'!L:L)
  • Auto Date Updated: =NOW() (with manual paste as value on save)
  • Data Validation: Dropdowns for Status, Priority, Department using lists from a hidden “Lookup Tables” sheet.

Conditional Formatting

  • Tasks past their End Date → Red fill
  • Status = “Blocked” → Yellow border + bold text
  • % Complete > 80% → Green background
  • Budget Variance > ±15% → Orange highlight in Budget sheet
