Sheet Names and Overview

The workbook consists of five distinct sheets that work together seamlessly:

Daily Planner: A calendar-based view showing daily tasks and due dates.
Status Dashboard: A visual summary of task completion rates, overdue items, and workload trends.

Table Structures and Columns

The primary data structure resides in the Tasks List sheet. This table is formatted as an Excel Table (Ctrl+T) for dynamic expansion and automatic formatting.

Additional details, links to documents, or reminders.

Formulas Required

The template includes several essential formulas to automate tracking and reporting:

Auto-generated Task ID (Column A):
```
=IF(A2="", "T-" & TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & COUNTA($A$2:$A$1000)+1, A2)
```
This formula generates unique IDs like "T-20231031-5" with a date stamp and sequential number.

Status Indicator (Conditional Logic):

=IF(AND([@Due Date] < TODAY(), [@Status] <> "Completed"), "Overdue", IF([@Status]="Completed", "Done", "Active"))

Automatically flags overdue tasks or active ones.

Days Until Due (Column H):
```
=IF([@Due Date]="","", [@Due Date] - TODAY())
```
Calculates how many days remain before the task is due.
Completion Rate (Dashboard):
```
=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange) * 100
```
Used in the Status Dashboard to show overall completion percentage.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and highlight important data, the template applies conditional formatting:

Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text for any task where Due Date is in the past and Status ≠ Completed.
High Priority Tasks: Amber background for tasks with Priority = "High".
Due This Week: Light blue highlight for tasks due within 7 days (based on TODAY() - Due Date ≤ 7).
Status Progress Bar (in Dashboard): Color-coded bar graphs for completion percentages.

User Instructions

Add New Tasks: Click any cell in the "Tasks List" table and enter details. Use dropdowns for Category and Status to ensure consistency.
Update Task Progress: Change the Status column as tasks are completed or delayed.
Schedule Recurring Tasks: Mark recurring tasks (e.g., "Weekly Grocery Shopping") and use the Due Date to set repeating intervals manually.
Review Dashboard: Navigate to the "Status Dashboard" sheet weekly to assess completion rates, identify bottlenecks, and adjust priorities.
Print or Share: Use the Daily Planner for a printable view. Export as PDF for sharing with family members via email.
