Table Structures & Columns

Sheet: Task Tracker (Primary Data Table)

Sheet: Client Roster

Formulas Required

• Auto-generated Task ID: In cell A6 (first row of Task Tracker):
  =IF(ROW()-5=1,"CH-0001",IF(A5="","CH-0001",CONCATENATE("CH-",TEXT(VALUE(MID(A5,3,4))+1),"0#")))
  This formula ensures incremental IDs and handles leading zeros.
• Completion Date Auto-fill:
  =IF(F6="Completed",TODAY(),"") in Completion Date column (H6).
• Status Validation: Use data validation to restrict entries to predefined options: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Overdue.
• Overdue Detection:
  =IF(AND(G6"Completed"), "Yes", "No") – flags overdue tasks for dashboard reporting.
• Average Completion Time:
  =AVERAGEIFS('Task Tracker'!H:H,'Task Tracker'!F:F,"Completed") – used in Dashboard for performance metrics.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Apply red fill and bold text to any row where Due Date is before today AND Status ≠ Completed.
• Priority Levels: Use color scales:
  • Low: Light green background
  • Medium: Yellow
  • High: Orange
  • Critical: Dark red with white text
• Status Indicators: Use icon sets (traffic light style):
  • Red Circle = Overdue or Not Started
  • Yellow Triangle = In Progress
  • Green Checkmark = Completed
• Dates in Red: Highlight due dates that fall within the next 3 days using a formula-based rule: `=AND(G6>=TODAY(), G6<=TODAY()+3)`
