Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas for automation and real-time updates:

=IF(AND(D2="High", E2="High"), "Critical Risk", "Medium Risk") – Dynamically classifies risk severity based on impact and probability.
=COUNTIFS(Risk Register!G:G, "Open") – Counts open risks in the register.
=VLOOKUP(A2, Action Items!A:A, 3, FALSE) – Links action items to their corresponding risk description.
=IF(H2="", "", TEXT(H2,"dd/mm/yyyy")) – Formats completion dates for readability.
=NETWORKDAYS(B2, C2) – Calculates days remaining for a due date if the task is not yet completed.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and alert users to critical issues:

Risk Impact Level: Red for "Critical", Yellow for "High", Green for "Low".
Status Column (Risk Register): Red background if status is "Open" and last reviewed more than 30 days ago.
Action Status: Orange if overdue, green if completed.
Due Date Highlighting: Automatically highlights cells in the To-Do List where due dates are within the next 5 days (using a date-based formula).
Priority Indicators: Color-coded priority levels (Red = High, Yellow = Medium, Green = Low).
