Data Types and Formulas Required

All columns use standard Excel data types:

• Date: Stored as date/time type (e.g., "2024-04-01")
• Text: For names, departments, task descriptions
• Numbers: KPIs, percentages, counts (with decimal precision)
• Boolean Status: For "On Track" or "Below Target"

Key formulas used:

• =SUMIFS(E:E, B:B, A1): Calculates total task completions by employee.
• =AVERAGEIF(C:C, "Sales", F:F): Averages KPIs across a department.
• =TODAY() - D2: Calculates days elapsed between start and today (for progress tracking).
• =COUNTIFS(G:G, "Completed"): Counts completed tasks per team or employee.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and enable quick assessment:

• Cells with % achievement below 70% are highlighted in red (critical).
• Cells above 90% are highlighted in green (excellent performance).
• Status cells with "In Progress" show a yellow background.
• Tasks overdue (>3 days past due) are marked with a red border and bold text.
• Rows where KPIs were missed trigger an alert flag in the summary sheet.
