Executive Dashboard Sheet
- Contains dynamic charts, KPIs, and summary tables pulled from other sheets. - Features real-time status indicators using conditional formatting and interactive filters.Formulas Required
This template leverages powerful Excel formulas for automation:- Duration Calculation:
=IF(End_Date<>"", End_Date - Start_Date + 1, "") - % Complete from Task Schedule:
=AVERAGEIF(Status_Column, "Completed", Percent_Complete_Column) - Budget Variance:
=Actual_Spend - Estimated_Budget - Risk Score Calculation: Use VLOOKUP or SWITCH to map Likelihood/Impact text to numeric values (e.g., Low=1, High=5), then multiply.
- Progress Summary (Dashboard):
=COUNTIF(Task_Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Task_ID_Column)
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Task Status Color Coding**: - Red: “Blocked” or “On Hold” - Yellow: “In Progress” (with progress < 75%) - Green: “Completed” - **Budget Variance**: - Red if variance is >10% of budget - Orange for >5% - **Risk Score Highlighting**: - Critical risks (>20): Bold red text with background fill - **Timeline Overlaps**: Conditional formatting detects overlapping dates using a formula-based rule.User Instructions
