Create a live dashboard in a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet app: [SPREADSHEET_APP]. Audience and decisions: [AUDIENCE_AND_DECISIONS]. Data sources and refresh method: [DATA_SOURCES]. Metrics wanted: [METRICS].

Give a build guide as a checklist with the formulas and settings for each step:
[ ] Data tab: raw data stored as a table, one row per record, no merged cells, consistent types, dates as real dates
[ ] Calculation tab: named ranges or table references; metrics computed with SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, or lookup formulas; no hardcoded numbers inside formulas
[ ] Inputs: date range and filters in labeled cells (dropdown validation) driving all formulas
[ ] Checks: totals tie to the raw data; a red flag cell if checks fail
[ ] Dashboard tab: KPI tiles at the top (current value, change versus the previous period, target), trend chart, breakdown chart, and a table of exceptions
[ ] Chart choices: line for trends, bar for comparison, no 3D or pie charts with many slices; sensible axes
[ ] Layout: grid alignment, limited colors, color used for meaning, readable fonts, print setup
[ ] Interactivity: slicers or dropdowns; locked formulas with sheet protection
[ ] Documentation: definitions, data source, last refresh date, owner
[ ] Performance: avoid volatile and whole-column formulas where slow

Provide sample formulas for my app, a layout sketch in text, sample data with expected results, and a refresh routine.
