| Date | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | Enter the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Use Excel's date picker for consistency. |

| Specific Task | Text | Description of the actual task performed (e.g., “Schedule board meeting,” “Prepare Q3 report draft”). Max 100 characters. |
| Start Time | Time (HH:MM) | Enter start time in 24-hour format (e.g., 09:00). Must be earlier than End Time. |
| End Time | Time (HH:MM) | Enter end time in 24-hour format. Automatically calculates duration. |
| Duration (Hours) | Numeric (Calculated) | Formula automatically computes total hours: =(End Time - Start Time)*24. |
| Status | Text (Drop-down List) | Options: In Progress, Completed, Pending Review, On Hold. Used for task tracking and workflow monitoring. |
Formulas Required
The template leverages dynamic formulas to ensure data accuracy and reduce manual effort:- Duration Calculation:
=IF(AND([@EndTime]<>"", [@StartTime]<>""), (EndTime - StartTime)*24, 0) - Daily Total per Team Member: Use a SUMIFS formula to aggregate time by Date and Team Member.
- Weekly Summary: Dynamic SUMIFS across a date range to calculate total hours per team member and task category.
- Status Tracking: Use COUNTIF or COUNTIFS to count tasks by status for reporting purposes.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance data visibility and usability:- Over 8-hour shifts: Highlight rows where Duration exceeds 8 hours in red to flag potential overtime.
- Pending tasks: Apply yellow fill to any row where Status = "Pending Review".
- Last updated column: Use a date-based conditional format (e.g., highlight rows updated today in green).
- Category color coding: Assign distinct colors to each task category for visual separation (e.g., blue for scheduling, green for documentation).
