Table Structures & Columns (Time Entry Log)

Formulas and Automation

• Auto-Calculate Total Billable Amount:
  In column H (Billable Amount): =IF(G2="Yes", E2*F2, 0)
  This multiplies time spent by the billing rate only if the task is marked as billable.
• Dynamic Client Filter:
  Use SUMIFS to aggregate data by client:
  =SUMIFS(H:H, B:B, "Client A", G:G, "Yes")
• Weekly Total Hours:
  Use SUMIFS(E:E, B:B, "Client X", C:C, "Project Y", D:D, ">=1/1/2025", D:D, "<=1/7/2025") for weekly tracking.
• Count Tasks by Status:
  Use COUNTIF(I:I, "Completed") to monitor progress.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Billable vs Non-Billable:
  Apply red fill for non-billable entries (if "No" in column G).
• Overdue Tasks:
  Use conditional formatting to highlight any task with status “On Hold” or “Active” but past due date.
• Time Spent Thresholds:
  Green for 0–3 hours, yellow for 3.1–6 hours, red for >6 hours (flagging unusually long tasks).
• Weekly Totals:
  Highlight rows where weekly totals exceed the expected budget cap using data bars or icons.
