Table Structures & Columns

Formulas Required

This template uses a combination of logical, date-based, and lookup formulas to maintain accuracy and automate tracking:

• Next Due Date (Column F):
  =IF(OR(E2="", ISBLANK(E2)), "", IF(B2="Daily", E2+1, IF(B2="Weekly", E2+7, IF(B2="Bi-Weekly", E2+14, IF(B2="Monthly", EDATE(E2,1), IF(B2="Quarterly", EDATE(E2,3), "")))))
• Status Auto-updating (Column G):
  =IF(TODAY() > F2, "Overdue", IF(ISBLANK(E2), "Not Started", IF(AND(ISBLANK(F2), NOT(ISBLANK(E2))), "Completed", "In Progress")))
• Compliance Standard Lookup (Column H):
  Use a Data Validation dropdown that pulls from the 'Compliance Standards Reference' sheet using named ranges.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual management and immediate status recognition:

• Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text for any row where the current date exceeds the next due date.
• Status-Based Coloring: Green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Overdue", and gray for "Not Started".
• Upcoming Due Dates: Light blue highlight if the next due date is within the next 3 days.
