Sheet 5: Data Analytics & Reports (Hidden)
This sheet is hidden by default and houses the backend formulas, pivot tables, and data model connections to power the Dashboard.
Formulas Required
- Dynamic Counting:
=COUNTIFS(Daily_Task_Tracker!$F:$F, "Completed", Daily_Task_Tracker!$D:$D, ">="&DATE(2024,4,1), Daily_Task_Tracker!$D:$D, "<"&DATE(2024,5,1))→ Counts completed tasks in April 2024. - Status-Driven Conditional Logic:
=IF(Daily_Task_Tracker!$F$3="Overdue", "🔴 Overdue", IF(Daily_Task_Tracker!$F$3="Completed", "🟢 Complete", "🟡 Pending")) - Stock Alert Generator:
=IF(AND(Current_Stock <= Reorder_Threshold, Status<>"Out of Stock"), "⚠️ Low Stock!", "") - Average Response Time:
=AVERAGEIFS(Daily_Task_Tracker!$H:$H, Daily_Task_Tracker!$F:$F, "Completed", Daily_Task_Tracker!$D:$D, "<"&TODAY()) - Pivot Tables: Used to aggregate data from all sheets into summary views (e.g., monthly task completion by staff).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Tasks: Highlight red if Due Date is earlier than TODAY() and Status ≠ "Completed"
- Low Stock Alerts: Yellow highlight for items where Current Stock ≤ Reorder Threshold
- Status Indicators: Color-coded text (Green = Completed, Red = Overdue, Amber = In Progress)
- Budget Exceeded: If Budget Spent > Allocated, flag in red with icon set

- Navigate to Daily Task Tracker and enter tasks using the standardized format.
- Update the status daily—automated formulas will reflect progress on the Dashboard.
- In Resource Inventory Log, update stock levels after deliveries or usage.
