Formulas & Automation

The template includes powerful formulas to automate calculations and improve efficiency:

Total Hours per Client (Monthly): Uses SUMIFS(Maintenance Log!F:F, Maintenance Log!B:B, "Client X", Maintenance Log!A:A, ">=1/01/2024", Maintenance Log!A:A, "<=31/01/2024") to compute time spent per client.
Service Count by Type: COUNTIFS(Maintenance Log!C:C, "Bug Fix") generates counts for service categories.
Average Resolution Time: =AVERAGEIF(Maintenance Log!K:K, ">0", Maintenance Log!K:K)
Billing Status Summary: Conditional count of "Not Billed" entries using COUNTIFS.
Monthly Total Cost (if hourly rate is set): Multiplies total hours by a user-defined rate.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight critical data, the template applies:

High Priority Entries: Red fill for "High" priority tasks in the Status column.
Overdue Services: Yellow highlight for records where Status is "Pending Review" and Date of Service is older than 7 days.
Billing Alerts: Orange background for entries with "Not Billed" status if Duration > 0.5 hours.
Duplicate Client Names: Highlights repeated client names to prevent data entry errors.

User Instructions

To get started:

Enter your name and contact details in the designated fields on the "Instructions & Guide" tab.
Add all clients to the master list (dropdown source) under "Data Validation" settings.
