Formulas Required
The template uses several dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and generate real-time insights:
- Equity (Process Health Index):
=IF(Asset_Value > 0, Asset_Value - Liability_Risk_Score, 0) - Status Indicator: Conditional logic to highlight status changes:
=IF(Current_Status="Completed", "✅", IF(Current_Status="On Hold", "⏸️", IF(Current_Status="Active","🟢","🟡"))) - Weekly Average KPI:
=AVERAGEIF(Process_ID_Column, Process_ID, KPI_Column) - Running Total of Asset Value:
=SUMIFS(Asset_Value_Column, Date_Range_Column, "<=" & Current_Week_Date)
Conditional Formatting Rules
- High Risk (Liability Risk Score ≥ 7): Red fill with white text.
- Low Equity (≤ $5,000): Orange background with bold font.
- New Process Added This Week: Blue highlight on row if "Date Range" is within the current week.
- Status Updates: Color-coded icons based on status (green for Active, yellow for Pending, red for On Hold).
- KPI Trend Indicator: Arrows (↑↓) showing improvement or decline from prior week using a comparison formula.
