Table Structures and Columns (Weekly Task Tracker)

The primary table in the Weekly Task Tracker sheet is a structured Excel table named Tbl_WeeklyTasks. It includes the following columns:

Formulas Required

The following formulas are implemented to automate tracking and reporting:

• Progress % Calculation (in “Progress %” column):
  =IF(Status="Completed", 100, IF(Status="In Progress", 50, IF(Status="Delayed", 30, 0)))
• Due Date Auto-fill (in “Due Date (Weekly)” column):
  Use a helper cell (e.g., F1) with the formula:
  =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(TODAY())-WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2)+5)
  This sets the due date to Friday of the current week. Then reference this cell in each row using =F1.
• Task Count by Status (in Dashboard):
  =COUNTIF(Tbl_WeeklyTasks[Status], "Completed")
• Overdue Tasks Counter:
  =SUMPRODUCT((Tbl_WeeklyTasks[Due Date (Weekly)]"Completed"))
• Client Completion Rate (per client, in Client Performance Summary):
  Use a QUERY() or SUMIFS() function to calculate completed tasks per client.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Color-code cells based on status:
  • Completed: Green fill, white text.
  • In Progress: Yellow fill.
  • Delayed: Red fill with bold text.
  • Not Started: Light gray background.
• Due Date Column: Highlight in red if the due date is today or earlier and status ≠ "Completed".
• Priorities: Apply color gradients to “Priority Level” (Low: green, High: yellow, Critical: red).
• Progress %: Use data bars from 0% to 100% for visual clarity.
