Formulas Required

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to ensure automation and real-time feedback:

=VLOOKUP(TaskID, TaskMasterList!$A$1:$F$100, 3, FALSE) – Pulls task type from the master list.
=IF(AND(DayColumn="Completed", TimeSpent>0), "On Track", IF(TimeSpent=0, "Missed", "Pending")) – Status validation.
=COUNTIFS(DailyLog!$A:$A, TODAY(), DailyLog!$C:$C, ">=0") – Counts today’s completed tasks.
=SUMIF(DailyTaskLog!B:B, "T001", DailyTaskLog!C:C) – Total time spent on a task.
=AVERAGEIFS(DailyTaskLog!C:C, DailyTaskLog!$D:$D, "Completed") – Average completion time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

- **Overdue Tasks:** Any task with a scheduled date before today and status ≠ Completed → Red background. - **High Time Spent Tasks:** If Time Spent > 3x Estimated Time → Orange fill. - **Completed Today:** Green highlight for any completed task in the Daily Task Log. - **Weekly Summary Bar Chart (on Dashboard):** Color-coded by category (blue for billing, green for communication, etc.).

Instructions for the User

1. Open the file and enable macros if prompted. 2. Customize frequencies in Task Master List based on your freelance workflow. 3. Set your preferred week starting day via cell B1 (default: Monday). 4. In Daily Task Log, enter tasks completed each day using Task IDs from the master list. 5. Review weekly summaries in the Dashboard to identify bottlenecks or time sinks. 6. Use conditional formatting to quickly scan for missed or overdue chores.
