This is the backbone of the Gantt chart. The table includes: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|----------|-----------| | Task ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier for each task (e.g., T-001, T-002) | | Task Name | Text (String) | Descriptive name of the deliverable or phase | | Start Date | Date (Date Format) | Scheduled beginning date of the task | | End Date | Date (Date Format) | Planned completion date; automatically calculated if duration is set | | Duration (Days) | Number (Integer) | Calculated based on Start and End Dates; editable for flexibility | | Assignee(s) | Text (String/Cell Reference to a Named Range of Users) | Name(s) of the team member(s) responsible | | Status | Dropdown List (Text: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Blocked, Delayed) | Visual indicator for real-time progress tracking | | % Complete | Number (0–100%) | Input field for manual or formula-based completion rate |2. Milestones (Sheet: 'Milestones')
| Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|----------|-----------| | Milestone ID | Text/Number | Unique code for tracking | | Milestone Name | Text (String) | Key project checkpoint (e.g., Client Approval, Launch Ready) | | Due Date | Date (Date Format) | Deadline for milestone completion | | Status | Dropdown List (Same as Task List: Not Started, In Progress, Completed...) | Current status of the milestone | | Notes | Text (Long-form optional) | Additional context or comments |3. Project Overview (Sheet: 'Project Overview')
This sheet aggregates data from other sheets to provide an executive summary. | Metric Category | Data Type | |-----------------|---------| | Total Active Projects | Number | | Average Project Completion Rate (%) | Percentage | | Upcoming Milestones (Next 7 Days) | Number | | Tasks Overdue by >2 Days | Number | | Top 3 Delayed Tasks (by delay duration) | Text with hyperlinks to Task List |Formulas Required
The template uses a combination of built-in Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:=IF(AND([@Status]="In Progress", [@StartDate] < TODAY()), "On Track", IF([@Status]="Completed", "Completed", IF([@EndDate] < TODAY(), "Delayed", "On Schedule")))– Auto-determines status based on dates and input.=IF(OR([@Status]="Not Started", [@Status]="Blocked"), 0, IF([@Status]="Completed", 100, [@[% Complete]]))– Ensures only completed or in-progress tasks influence progress.=[@[End Date]] - [@[Start Date]] + 1– Calculates duration in days.=COUNTIF(StatusLog!$C:$C, "Client Approval")– Used in Project Overview to count recurring status updates.=SUMPRODUCT((TaskList[Status]="Completed")*(TaskList[Duration])/(SUM(TaskList[Duration]))*100)– Calculates overall project completion rate.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and client presentation:- Status Column (Task List): Color-coded cells using rules:
- "Not Started" → Light Gray
- "In Progress" → Blue
- "Completed" → Green
- "Delayed" → Red
- End Date Column (Task List): Highlight dates that are past due using "Cell Value < TODAY()" with red fill.
- Gantt Chart (Interactive) Sheet: Task bars change color based on status (e.g., green for completed, yellow for in progress, gray for blocked).
- Project Overview: Use data bars and icons to visualize completion rates and overdue tasks.
