Color coding indicates status (red = overdue, yellow = at risk, green = on track). The timeline spans up to 12 months.
Formulas Required
- Progress Tracking:
=IF(LEN([@Status])=0, "", IF([@Status]="Completed", 100%, IF(AND([@Status]="In Progress", [@Due Date] - Overdue Status:
=IF(AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@Due Date] - Remaining Days:
=IF([@Status]="Completed", 0, IF(TODAY()>[@Due Date], TODAY()-[@Due Date], [@Due Date]-TODAY())) - Team Capacity Utilization: A calculated column in the Team Assignments sheet showing percentage of daily workload:
=SUMIFS(TaskSchedule[Hours Needed], TaskSchedule[Assigned To], [@[Team Member Name]]) / [@[Daily Capacity]] - Campaign KPI Achievement: On the Metrics sheet:
=MIN(100, (Actual Value / Target Value)*100)
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Column: Color-coded using data bars and icons (e.g., red X for "Overdue", green check for "Completed").
- Due Date Column: Cells turn red if due date is in the past and status is not "Completed". Yellow if due within 3 days.
- Progress Column: Green fill for 90%–100%, yellow for 50%–89%, red for below 50%.
- Budget vs. Actual: Red if actual > budget, green if under budget.
