• =IF(B2 < C2, "Below Target", IF(B2 = C2, "Meets Target", "Exceeds")): Automatically assigns performance rating based on KPI vs. target.

• =COUNTIFS(Service_Logs!$E:$E, "Support Call"): Counts total support interactions per month.
• =TODAY() - [Onboarding Date]: Automatically calculates client tenure in days/months.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual alerts are embedded to highlight critical performance deviations:

• Red Highlight (Below Target): Applies when KPI value < Target. Used in Performance Tracking sheet.
• Green Highlight (Exceeds/Meets): When KPI ≥ Target.
• Yellow Alert: For clients with no engagement in 30 days or more — triggers a follow-up flag.
