Formulas Required

The template utilizes a series of dynamic formulas to automate calculations and maintain data consistency:

• Auto-generated Client ID: =TEXT(TODAY(),"YYMM")&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") (based on row number and date)
• Account Health Score: Formula based on weighted criteria: =IF(AND([@Status]="Active",[@[Last Contact Date]]>=TODAY()-90,[@[Next Renewal Date]]-TODAY()>=60), 95, IF(AND([@Status]="Active",[@[Last Contact Date]]>=TODAY()-180), 75, IF([@Status]="On Hold",40,20)))
• Renewal Status Indicator: =IF([@[Next Renewal Date]]-TODAY()<=30,"Overdue","Upcoming")
• Active Clients Count: =COUNTIFS('Client Master List'!$G:$G,"Active")
• Monthly Renewal Forecast: =SUMIFS('Forecast & Renewal Tracker'!$D:$D,'Forecast & Renewal Tracker'!$C:$C,">="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)-30,'Forecast & Renewal Tracker'!$C:$C,"<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
