Formulas Required

The template leverages several advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and analysis:

• Status Tracking: Use =IF(G2="Completed", "✅", IF(G2="In Progress", "🔄", IF(G2="Delayed","⚠️","❌"))) for visual status indicators.
• Progress Calculation: In the Campaign Tracker: =ROUND((Completed Tasks / Total Tasks) * 100, 1)&"%"
• Status Color Coding: Use conditional formatting with formulas like:
  • =G2="Completed" → Green fill
  • =G2="Delayed" → Red fill with yellow border
  • =G2="In Progress" → Yellow fill
• Budget Utilization: =ROUND((Actual Spend / Budget) * 100, 1)&"%"
• Effort Summary: Use SUMIFs to aggregate total effort by team member or campaign.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column (G): Color-coded with green (Completed), yellow (In Progress), red (Delayed), gray (Not Started).
• Priorities: High priority tasks have bold red text; Medium are blue; Low are gray.
• Deadline Alerts: If the date in Column A is within 3 days of today, cells turn orange.
• KPI Variance: Positive variance (under target) = green; Negative (over target) = red.
