A detailed list of all administrative tasks, including descriptions, priority levels, dependencies, and attachments.

3. Status Dashboard

This sheet provides a real-time overview of all tasks using KPIs, pie charts, and trend indicators.

Formulas Required:

• Duration (F column): =IF(AND(D2<>"",E2<>""), E2-D2+1, "")
• Status Color Logic: Use IF statement to categorize status for dashboard: =IF(H2="Completed","Green",IF(H2="In Progress","Yellow","Red"))
• Progress Indicator (Gantt bar): Conditional formatting based on % progress with a filled rectangle using formula: =AND($G$2>=0,$G$2<=100)
• Overdue Flag: =IF(AND(E2"Completed"), "Yes", "No")
• Total Tasks: =COUNTA(B:B)-1 (adjust range as needed)

Conditional Formatting Rules:

• Status Color Coding: Apply color scales to the “Status” column: Green for Completed, Yellow for In Progress, Red for Not Started or On Hold.
• Overdue Tasks: Highlight rows where Due Date is past today and task is not completed (using a custom formula: =AND(E2"Completed")).
• Progress Bars: Use data bars in the "Progress (%)" column to visually represent completion percentage.
• Task Start/End Dates: Highlight any task starting before today (past due) with a red border if not marked completed.
