- Auto-populate Date: Use =TODAY() in the date cell to auto-update today’s date. (Optional: Allow manual override for planning).
Conditional Formatting
To improve visual clarity, the template uses conditional formatting across multiple columns:- Status Column: Color-coded rows based on status: Red for "On Hold", Yellow for "In Progress", Green for "Completed".
- Priority Level: High priority tasks are highlighted in red font with dark red background. Medium in yellow, Low in light gray.
- Duration Over 2 Hours: Cells with durations over 2 hours are shaded blue to flag intensive client work.
