2. Performance Metrics Table (Sheet: Performance Metrics)

Data types:

• Employee ID: Text (unique code)
• Name: Text
• Team/Department: Dropdown list with predefined options
• Target & Actual KPI: Percentage (%)
• Variance (%): Calculated automatically via formula
• Status: Conditional text based on variance thresholds (e.g., >5% = "Above", <-5% = "Below")

Formulas Required

• =SUMIFS(Invoice!Amount, Invoice!Status, "Paid") — Total revenue from paid invoices.
• =IF(E3 > D3, (E3-D3)/D3, 0) — Variance calculation between actual and target KPIs.
• =ROUND(C2/D2, 2) — Performance score percentage derived from performance data.
• =IF(Invoice!Paid Date = "", "Pending", "Paid") — Status auto-update based on payment date.
• =VLOOKUP(Employee ID, Employee Table, 2, FALSE) — To fetch employee names from a master reference table.
• =COUNTIFS(Performance!Status, "Above") — Count of employees exceeding targets.

Conditional Formatting Rules
