Formulas and Calculations
The template leverages several dynamic formulas to automate insights:- Progress Percentage: In the "Dashboard" sheet, use:
=IF(TARGET_DATE > TODAY(), (TODAY() - START_DATE) / (END_DATE - START_DATE), 1)to calculate timeline progress. - Status Indicator: Use conditional logic to auto-update status based on date comparisons and manual input.
- KPI Achievement Rate:
=IF(AND(CURRENT_VALUE >= TARGET_VALUE, ISNUMBER(CURRENT_VALUE)), 100%, (CURRENT_VALUE / TARGET_VALUE) * 100) - Goal Completion Count:
=COUNTIF(Strategic_Goals!Status, "Completed")
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhances visual clarity:- Status Color Coding: Red for “On Hold”, Amber for “Delayed”, Green for “Completed”.
- KPI Progress Bars: Use data bars to visualize achievement percentage (e.g., 80% filled when 80% of target met).
- Dates Near Deadline: Highlight cells in red if "Target Date" is within 14 days.
- Budget Overrun Alerts: Apply conditional formatting to highlight budget values exceeding 110% of planned amount.
