Key Formulas Used
The template incorporates several dynamic formulas to automate tracking and generate insights:- Status Column Formula:
=IF(ActualCompletionDate<>"", "Completed", IF(Today()>DueDate, "Overdue", IF(PlannedStartDate<=Today(), "In Progress", "Not Started"))) - Days Until Due:
=MAX(0, DATEDIF(Today(), DueDate, "D")) - Task ID Generation:
=CONCATENATE("C-", YEAR(Today()), "-", TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000")) - Completion Rate by Client: (Used in the Dashboard sheet)
=COUNTIFS(ClientNameColumn, [Client], Status, "Completed") / COUNTIF(ClientNameColumn, [Client]) - Monthly Workload Summary: Uses SUMIFS to calculate total effort by month.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual tracking and highlight critical tasks:- Status Column:
