Sheet 4: Dashboard (Summary)
This sheet contains dynamic summaries and visualizations pulled from the other sheets using formulas and charts. It is designed to give a quick, at-a-glance view of strategic progress.
Formulas Required
- Auto-incrementing IDs: Use
=TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")in the Goal ID and Asset ID columns to generate sequential IDs. - Status Count (Dashboard): Use
COUNTIF(Sheet2!E:E, "Active")to count active assets. - Prioritized Goals: Use conditional logic like
=IF(StrategyGoals!D2="High", "Priority", ""). - Goal Progress (Estimated): Based on date comparisons:
=IF(TODAY() > StrategyGoals!C2, "Overdue", IF(TODAY() + 30 >= StrategyGoals!C2, "At Risk", "On Track")). - Asset Utilization Rate: Calculate as
=COUNTA(Goal-Asset Alignment!E:E) / COUNTA(Goal-Asset Alignment!B:B).
Conditional Formatting
- Overdue Goals: Highlight Goal ID cells in red if the target date is past today.
- Status Indicators: Color-code asset status: green for "Active", yellow for "Under Maintenance", red for "Decommissioned".
- Priorities: Use color scales—dark red (High), orange (Medium), light yellow (Low).
- Progress Status: Apply icon sets to show traffic lights: green → on track, amber → at risk, red → overdue.
