Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate critical processes:

Progress % Calculation: =IF(Status="Completed",1,IF(Status="In Progress",0.5,0))
Overdue Flag: =IF(AND(Due_Date"Completed"),"YES","NO")
Status Color Code Mapping: Uses nested IF statements to assign color labels based on status.
Auto-Assign Employee Name: When a task is created, the employee’s name can be pulled from an "Employee Master List" via VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP.
Calendar Sync (in Sheet 4): Uses DATE, EOMONTH, and conditional formatting to highlight due dates on monthly calendar grids.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues are critical for quick assessment:

Status Column: Red for "Overdue", Yellow for "In Progress", Green for "Completed".
Due Date Column: Highlights cells in red if due date is within 3 days, yellow if 4–7 days away.
Priorities: High priority tasks are displayed with bold red text; low priority uses gray.
Progress % Bar: A mini data bar visualizes progress (0% to 100%) directly in the cell.
