Excel Template Description: Administrative Support Monthly Planner (Report Version)

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas across sheets for real-time data processing:

Percentage of Tasks Completed: =SUMIF(Calendar!$D:$D, "Completed", Calendar!$F:$F) / SUM(Calendar!$F:$F)
Total Hours Worked: =SUM(DailyLog!C:C)
Task Completion Rate (by Priority): =COUNTIFS(Calendar!$C:$C, "High", Calendar!$D:$D, "Completed") / COUNTIF(Calendar!$C:$C, "High")
Status Indicator: =IF(Value > BenchmarkTarget, "On Track", IF(Value > 0.8*BenchmarkTarget, "At Risk", "Delayed"))

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and alert users to critical issues:

High Priority Tasks: Highlighted in red if Status = "Delayed".
Status Column: Green text for "Completed", amber for "In Progress", red for "Delayed".
Time Actual vs. Estimated: If Time Actual > 1.25 × Estimated, the cell turns light pink.
