The template uses dynamic formulas to automate calculations and data aggregation:- Completion % in Main Dashboard:
=IFERROR(COUNTIF(TaskList[Status],"Completed")/COUNTA(TaskList[Status]),0) - Project Status Indicator: Uses nested IF with conditional logic:
=IF([@Deadline]<TODAY(),"Delayed",IF([@Completion %]=1,"Completed","On Track")) - Next Action Item (Dashboard):
=INDEX(TaskList[Task Description],MATCH(MIN(IF(TaskList[Due Date]>=TODAY(),TaskList[Due Date])),TaskList[Due Date],0)) - Total Expenses by Category: Uses SUMIFS for filtered totals in Budget sheet.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhances visual clarity and urgency cues:- Deadlines within 3 days: Highlight cell in bright yellow with bold text.
- Status = "Completed": Green background with checkmark icon (via icon sets).
- Status = "Delayed": Red background with exclamation mark.
- Priority Level: Color-coded: Low (gray), Medium (yellow), High (orange), Critical (red).
