Sheet Names

Table Structures and Columns

Main Chore Chart: This is the primary operational table containing 15 columns designed for granular tracking of administrative duties.

Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and enhance usability:

• NEXT DUE DATE (Next Due Date column): =IF(E2="Daily", TODAY() + 1, IF(E2="Weekly", TODAY() + 7, IF(E2="Bi-weekly", TODAY() + 14, IF(E2="Monthly", EDATE(TODAY(),1), "One-time")))) This formula dynamically updates the next due date based on frequency.
• STATUS AUTOMATION (Status column): =IF(ISBLANK(F2), IF(TODAY() > G2, "Overdue", "Not Started"), IF(G2 = TODAY(), "In Progress", IF(H2 = "", "Completed", H2))) Automatically checks for overdue tasks and reflects real-time status.
• OVERDUE FLAG (Optional Highlight Column): =AND(ISBLANK(I2), TODAY() > G2) — Returns TRUE if task is overdue and not started.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity, the template applies multiple conditional formatting rules:

• Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text for any row where Status = Overdue.
• Prioritized Tasks: Yellow highlight for tasks marked "High" or "Critical" in Priority Level.
