  • Primary Contact Person: Text
• Formulas:
  • =IFERROR(TEXT(DATEVALUE("2024-01-01") + INT(RAND()*365), "yyyy-mm-dd"), "") – for random testing of first contact dates (for demo purposes only)
  • =CONCATENATE(B2, " (", C2, ")") – to auto-generate a client identifier in the Client ID column.
• Conditional Formatting:
  • Status = "Active" → Green background with white text

• Completed Tasks This Month
Dynamic Formulas:
=COUNTIFS(ClientMaster!Status, "Active")
=COUNTA(InteractionLog!Date) - COUNTIFS(InteractionLog!Date, "<"&TODAY()-7)
=SUMIF(TaskList!Due Date, ">="&TODAY(), TaskList!Status)
• Charts Included:

• Pie chart: Distribution of client industries
• Line graph: Task completion rate over time

All charts are linked to source data and update automatically when new entries are added.
