Table Structure: Chore Tracker Sheet

Formulas Required

• Completion Date Auto-fill:
  In cell H3: =IF(G3="Completed", TODAY(), "")
  This ensures that when the status is updated to "Completed," today’s date is automatically recorded.
• Status Color Coding (Conditional Formatting): Uses formulas to evaluate status and apply color schemes.
• Overdue Flag:
  In a hidden column (e.g., J): =IF(AND(E3>TODAY(), G3<>"Completed"), "Overdue", "")
  Used in dashboards to highlight pending overdue tasks.
• Daily Summary Count: On the Daily Summary sheet, a formula like:
  =COUNTIFS(ChoreTracker!$A:$A, "C101", ChoreTracker!$G:$G, "Completed", ChoreTracker!$H:$H, TODAY())
  Counts completed tasks for Client C101 today.
• Monthly Completion Rate:
  =COUNTIFS(ChoreTracker!$A:$A, "C101", ChoreTracker!$G:$G, "Completed", ChoreTracker!$E:$E, ">=01/01/2025", ChoreTracker!$E:$E, "<=31/01/2025") / COUNTIFS(ChoreTracker!$A:$A, "C101", ChoreTracker!$E:$E, ">=01/01/2025", ChoreTracker!$E:$E, "<=31/01/2025")
  Calculates percentage of tasks completed within a month.
