Required Formulas
The following formulas are embedded to automate tracking, analysis, and forecasting:
- Progress %:
=IF([@Status]="Completed",100%, IF(TODAY()>[@End Date], 100%, IF(TODAY()<[@Start Date], 0, (TODAY()-[@Start Date])/( [@End Date]-[@Start Date])*100))) - Days Overdue:
=IF(AND([@Status]<>"Completed", TODAY()>[@End Date]), TODAY()-[@End Date], 0) - Risk Flag:
=IF(AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@[Days Overdue]]>0), "Yes", "No") - Status Auto-Update: Uses IF and TODAY() to auto-flag “In Progress” or “Delayed” based on date ranges.
- Campaign-Level ROI Total: SUMIF across tasks to aggregate expected and actual ROI by campaign group.
