What does this template do?

Track requests for information, expected response dates, actual responses, and turnaround time.

Response days runs from issue date to response date, or to the review date while open. Days late uses the expected response date and the same endpoint.

Calendar days are used. A recorded response does not establish that a design change is approved or that a commercial entitlement exists.

The working tab keeps editable inputs separate from formulas, with room for 60 records. The Notes tab explains the method and how to extend the range. All example records are fictional and can be replaced. Download a workbook format to retain formulas, or CSV when you need calculated values only.

What’s inside

  • Response days runs from issue date to response date, or to the review date while open. Days late uses the expected response date and the same endpoint.
  • 60 prepared record rows with blank-row guards
  • Blue input cells, typed dates and numbers, and frozen column headers
  • Notes with the method, assumptions, and range-extension instructions

Which tabs does the workbook have?

WorksheetTrack requests for information, expected response dates, actual responses, and turnaround time.
NotesHow to use the workbook, formula method, assumptions, and file format limits.

What formulas does this template use?

This template holds 122 formulas in 168 cells across 2 tabs, so 73% of its cells calculate. They use 7 distinct functions; the longest formula is 124 characters.

FunctionUsesWhat it does
IF421one result when a test is true, another when false
ISNUMBER120true for a number
MAX120largest value
NOT120reverses true and false
COUNTA2counts non-empty cells
COUNTIF2counts cells meeting one condition
COUNT1counts numeric cells

Counted from the workbook itself. Only functions that Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers evaluate the same way are used, so the formulas survive every download format.

How do you use it?

  1. Replace the fictional records in blue cells with your own data. Keep the dark formula cells.
  2. Set the review date in B7 for date calculations.
  3. Read the calculated columns and inspect the results before using them. Clear unused input rows; keep their formulas.
  4. The prepared range holds 60 records in rows 11–70. Extend formulas and summary ranges together if you add more rows.

What is it good for?

  • Track requests for information, expected response dates, actual responses, and turnaround time
  • Replacing the labeled fictional records with your own figures
  • Checking a calculation before adapting it to a larger workbook

Questions about this sheet

How is the result calculated?

Response days runs from issue date to response date, or to the review date while open. Days late uses the expected response date and the same endpoint.

What assumptions should I check?

Calendar days are used. A recorded response does not establish that a design change is approved or that a commercial entitlement exists.

Can I add more than 60 records?

Yes. Copy the formula columns into new rows and extend every summary range to include them. Keep inputs and formulas in their original columns.

Are the example records real?

No. All example data is fictional and intended to demonstrate the formulas. Replace it before using the workbook for your own work.
