Table Structures & Data Types

The template uses well-structured tables with defined headers and consistent data types to ensure accuracy and formula functionality. All tables are formatted using Excel's Table feature for automatic expansion and filtering.

Example Table: Milestones & Tasks (Sheet 8)

Column	Data Type	Description
Milestone ID	Text/Number (Auto-increment)	Unique identifier for tracking purposes.
Description	Text (Short to Long)	Description of the task or milestone.
Due Date	Date	Deadline for completion.
Status	Dropdown (Not Started, In Progress, Delayed, Completed)	Status tracking with conditional formatting.
Assignee	Text (Name or Role)	Name of the team member responsible.
Priority	Dropdown (High, Medium, Low)	Indicates urgency and impact.

Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas for automation and real-time analysis:

=IF(TODAY() > [Due Date], "Overdue", IF([Status] = "Completed", "Done", "On Track")) – Auto-detects overdue or incomplete tasks.
=SUMIFS(FinancialProjections[Revenue], FinancialProjections[Month], ">="&StartDate, FinancialProjections[Month], "<="&EndDate) – Dynamic revenue calculation across time periods.
=COUNTIF(MilestonesStatus, "Completed") / COUNTA(MilestonesStatus) * 100 – Calculates milestone completion percentage for dashboard KPIs.
=SUM(FinancialProjections[Cash Inflow]) - SUM(FinancialProjections[Cash Outflow]) – Net cash flow calculation.
=VLOOKUP([Investor Name], FundingTracker, 5, FALSE) – Pulls investor terms and status based on name lookup.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Enhanced visual feedback through conditional formatting:

Status Column: Red text for "Overdue", yellow for "Delayed", green for "Completed".
Due Date Column: Cells turn red if today’s date exceeds the due date.
Cash Flow Table: Negative values highlighted in red; positive values in green.
Burn Rate KPI: If monthly cash burn exceeds 20% of current runway, the cell turns amber for alert.
