How the formulas work
The XLSX workbook calculates notice_date as renewal date minus notice days. It then calculates review_date as notice date minus review lead days. The sample uses calendar days, not business days.
notice_date = renewal_date - notice_days
review_date = notice_date - review_lead_days
Excel stores dates as serial values, so the workbook displays real date cells rather than text. When you replace a renewal date or offset, the dependent dates recalculate. Confirm the resulting dates against the signed agreement before using them for notice.
Calculate one contract before editing the sheetImport the cleaned CSV into RenewOps
Replace the examples
Delete the synthetic rows and add one row for each real contract.
Keep dates as YYYY-MM-DD
This avoids locale ambiguity such as 04/05 meaning April 5 or May 4.
Upload and review mapping
Map required fields first, then the optional notice, renewal, review, notes, and source columns.
Fix preview errors
Correct invalid dates, types, owners, risk tiers, or unsafe spreadsheet values before import.
Open the renewal queue
Add reminders and verify the next action after the records are saved.
Contract renewal spreadsheet FAQ
The template includes 10 synthetic contract records with owners, renewal and expiration dates, notice periods, calculated notice dates, review lead times, calculated review dates, risk tiers, notes, and example source links.
Use XLSX when you want editable formulas for notice and review dates. Use CSV when you want a simple import-ready file with the calculated dates already stored as YYYY-MM-DD values.
Yes. The CSV uses RenewOps field names for title, type, owner, expiration date, renewal date, notice date, review date, risk tier, notes, and evidence link. Replace the synthetic rows with your records before importing.
Yes. Upload the XLSX file through Google Sheets File > Import. Check the date columns and formulas after import because spreadsheet locale settings can change how dates are displayed. RenewOps does not provide a live Google Sheets integration.
No. Enter the notice period from the signed contract or amendment. Verify calendar versus business days, notice recipient, delivery method, timezone, and receipt requirements before relying on a calculated date.
