Formulas Required

To ensure the template remains dynamic and useful for client reporting, several formulas are implemented:

Last Updated Column (E2):
=TEXT(NOW(), "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM")
This formula automatically updates the timestamp whenever the cell is recalculated (e.g., when saving or editing).
Overdue Status Check:
Use conditional formatting to detect overdue items based on current date vs. Due Date. Formula for identifying overdue: =AND(Status<>"Completed", DueDate



    Completion Percentage (Dashboard):

        In the Status Dashboard, use:
        =COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange) * 100
        This gives a real-time completion rate for reporting.
    

    Count of Overdue Items:

        Formula: =SUMPRODUCT((Status<>"Completed")*(DueDate
    


    Count by Category:

        Use a pivot table or formula like:
        =COUNTIF(CategoryRange, "Deliverables")
        to track distribution of tasks.



Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and support client reporting, apply the following conditional formatting rules:


    Overdue Items:

        Format: Red fill with white text

        Rule: If Due Date is less than TODAY() AND Status ≠ "Completed"
    
    High Priority Items:

        Format: Yellow background with dark orange text

        Rule: If Priority = "High"
    
    Completed Items:

        Format: Light green fill with dark green text

        Rule: If Status = "Completed"
    
    Today’s Due Items:

        Format: Blue highlight

        Rule: If Due Date = TODAY()
