Formulas Required

This template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate data integrity and reduce manual effort:

Total Hours by Project: Use SUMIFS across the Time Log table to aggregate hours by Category and Date Range.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight key information:

Cells with “Critical” priority are highlighted in red with white text.
Durations exceeding 4 hours on a single task turn amber to flag potential inefficiency or over-allocation.
Empty Start/End Time cells are marked in light gray background for immediate visibility of incomplete entries.
Rows with dates older than 90 days are dimmed (grayed out) to support data hygiene and archival tracking.
