Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to automate key functions:

• Client ID Generator (Main Database): Uses =CONCATENATE("CLT-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) to auto-generate sequential IDs.
• Next Contact Date Calculation: Formula in Main Client DB: =DATE(YEAR(DATEOFONBOARDING), MONTH(DATEOFONBOARDING) + 3, DAY(DATEOFONBOARDING)) for quarterly reviews.
• Task Status Update (Conditional): IF([Status]="Completed", "✓", "") to display checkmarks in the UI.
• Engagement Level Color Coded: Uses VBA or Excel functions to assign status colors based on conditions.
• Task Due Date Reminder (in Task Sheet): =IF(DueDate=TODAY()+3, "Due in 3 Days", "")) for early warnings.
• Monthly Activity Summary: Uses SUMIFS() across the Interaction Log to count interactions per month.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and prioritize action items, conditional formatting is applied:

• Cells with "Overdue" in Task Status are highlighted in red with bold text.
• Client records where Engagement Level = "Inactive" appear in gray background to indicate potential disengagement.
• Tasks with a Due Date within 2 days show yellow warning formatting.
• Interaction Log entries from the last 30 days are highlighted in green to emphasize recent activity.
• All high-priority tasks (Priority = "High") are marked with orange text and border highlighting.
