Key Formulas Required
- Project ID Auto-Generation: In cell A2:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yy")&"-OFF-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"). This generates IDs like "24-OFF-001" and auto-increments with each new row. - Progress Calculation: If status is "Completed", H2 = 100%. If status is "Not Started", H2 = 0%. For others, manual input is recommended. Optional: Use a formula to cross-check progress percentage with milestone completion if milestones are tracked.
- Variance Calculation: In cell L2:
=J2-K2. This shows budget overrun or under-spend. - Last Updated: Use an event macro (VBA) or a helper formula using
SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(NOW(),"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm"), " ", "")triggered by worksheet change events (requires enabling macros).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Column (G): Color-coded using rules: Red for "Delayed", Yellow for "On Hold", Green for "Completed", Blue for "In Progress".
- Budget Variance (L): If variance < 0, highlight in red. If ≥ 0, highlight in green.
- Progress Column (H): Use a data bar to visually represent progress percentages.
- Priorities: Color cell background based on priority: Red for "High", Orange for "Medium", Green for "Low".
