Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate data aggregation and health scoring:
=IF(Actual Spend > Budget, "Over Budget", "Within Budget"): In the Project Tracker for financial alerting.=ROUND((End Date - Start Date + 1), 0): Calculates total duration in days.=IF(% Complete > 100, "Over Target", IF(% Complete = 100, "On Track", IF(% Complete >= 95, "Near Completion", "Behind Schedule")): Status indicator based on completion rate.=COUNTIF(Status,"Completed") / COUNTA(Status) * 100: Overall project completion % on the Dashboard Summary.=SUMIFS(Actual Spend, Status, "In Progress") + SUMIFS(Actual Spend, Status, "Not Started"): Total spend on active projects.=IF(Risk Score >= 60, "High", IF(Risk Score >= 30,"Medium","Low")): Risk categorization for visualization.- Named ranges like
ProjectList,AllStatuses, andResourceHoursare used to support drop-downs and dynamic charts.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To ensure instant readability, the template implements:
- Status Column (Project Tracker): Color-coded cells — Green for “Completed”, Red for “Delayed”, Orange for “On Hold”.
- % Complete Column: Gradient fill from Light Blue (0%) to Dark Blue (100%).
- Actual Spend vs Budget: If actual exceeds budget, background turns red with bold text.
- Risk Level Column: High = Red, Medium = Yellow, Low = Green.
- Deadline Proximity (in Timeline Sheet): Cells turn amber if due in 7 days or less; red if overdue.
