Formulas and Automation
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to maintain data integrity and reduce manual input:
- Completion % in Project Overview:
=IF(Projects[Status]="Completed", 100%, SUMIFS(TaskTracker[Status], TaskTracker[Project ID], [@[Project ID]], TaskTracker[Status], "Completed") / COUNTIFS(TaskTracker[Project ID], [@[Project ID]]) * 100)
- Variance in Budget Sheet:
=Actual Amount - Budgeted Amount
- Status Color Coding (Conditional Formatting): Uses formulas to detect late tasks, over-budget items, or overdue deadlines.
- Dynamic Project Count: Uses COUNTIF to tally active projects in the dashboard.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Late Tasks: If Due Date is before today and Status ≠ "Completed", highlight cell red.
- Budget Overrun: If Variance > 0, highlight in yellow; if Variance > 10% of budget, highlight in red.
- Status Indicators: Color-coded cells (Green = Completed, Yellow = In Progress, Red = Blocked).
- Completion % Gauge: Use data bars to visually show progress.
