| Task History Log | A chronological log of completed tasks with dates and notes for accountability and performance tracking. |
Table Structure & Columns
To-Do List (Main): This sheet contains the core task management table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type/Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | Text (Auto-generated) | A unique identifier for each task (e.g., CLT-001, CLT-002). |
| Client Name | Text | Name of the client associated with the task. |
| Task Description | Text (Max 250 characters) | A clear description of what needs to be done (e.g., "Prepare Q3 Monthly Report"). |
| Due Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy format) | The deadline for completing the task. |
| Status | Dropdown list: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Overdue | Current status of the task. |

| Estimated Time (hrs) | Numeric (0.5 to 24) | Approximate time required to complete the task. |
| Completed Date | Date (optional, auto-filled) | Automatically populated when Status is changed to "Completed". |
Formulas Required
The template uses several Excel formulas to enhance automation and intelligence:
- Auto-incrementing Task ID: Using =TEXT(TODAY(),"yy")&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000") in cell A2, then dragged down.
- Overdue Detection: In the Status column logic, use =IF(AND(DueDate
- Completion Date Auto-fill: Use an IF formula in "Completed Date": =IF(Status="Completed", TODAY(), "")
- Total Tasks by Priority: On the Dashboard sheet, use COUNTIF(To_Do_List!F:F,"High") to count high-priority tasks.
- Percentage of Completed Tasks: =COUNTIF(To_Do_List!E:E,"Completed")/COUNTA(To_Do_List!E:E)*100
Conditional Formatting Rules
To improve visual clarity and usability, apply the following conditional formatting rules:
- Overdue Tasks: Format cells in the Due Date column with a red background if the date is before today AND status is not "Completed".
- Priorities: Color-code Priority Level cells: Red for "High", Yellow for "Medium", Green for "Low".
- Status Column: Use color indicators: Red ("Overdue"), Orange ("In Progress"), Green ("Completed").
- Dates Near Deadline: Highlight due dates within 3 days with a yellow background.

- On the "To-Do List (Main)" sheet, begin entering tasks for each client under the respective columns.
- Select priority levels using the dropdown menu to help organize focus areas.
