Table Structures and Data Types

Format: YYYY-MM-DD | | Task ID | Text (Unique) | Reference to a standard from the Compliance Standards Reference sheet (e.g., "POL-2023-045") | | Description | Text (Long) | Brief explanation of the compliance task performed | | Responsible Person | Text (Dropdown List) | Name or role of person performing the task | | Status | Dropdown List: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Delayed, Failed | Real-time status of compliance item | | Due Date | Date (from Reference Sheet) | Linked from Compliance Standards Reference sheet based on Task ID | | Completion Time (HH:MM) | Time Format | Actual time taken to complete the task | | Verification Method | Text (Dropdown: Document Check, Observation, Interview, System Audit) | How compliance was validated | | Notes / Evidence Link | Text (URL or File Path) | Optional field to attach evidence or reference documentation |Summary Dashboard
This sheet presents an executive-level view of compliance performance using live data from the Daily Compliance Log. | Metric | Description | |--------|-----------| | Total Tasks Logged Today | Count of entries with today’s date | | Compliance Rate (%) | (Completed tasks / Total tasks) × 100 | | Tasks Due Today (Overdue) | Count of entries where Due Date is today and Status ≠ Completed | | Delayed/Failed Items | Count and list of overdue or failed compliance checks | | Top 5 Active Compliance Areas | Pie chart showing most frequently logged standards by Task ID |Formulas Required
To enable dynamic tracking, the following formulas are embedded across sheets:- Auto-date entry: In cell A2 of Daily Compliance Log:
=TODAY()(with conditional formatting to prevent manual changes). - Status Color Logic: Use
=IF(Status="Completed", "Green", IF(Status="Failed", "Red", IF(Status="Delayed", "Orange", "Gray"))for conditional formatting. - Compliance Rate: In Summary Dashboard:
=COUNTIF(DailyLog!E:E, "Completed") / COUNTA(DailyLog!A:A) * 100 - Pull Due Date from Reference Sheet: Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull the Due Date from the Compliance Standards Reference based on Task ID.
- Overdue Check: Formula:
=IF(AND(DueDate"Completed"), "Overdue", "On Track") - Total Delayed Items:
=COUNTIFS(DailyLog!E:E, "Delayed", DailyLog!A:A, ">="&TODAY()-30)
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply these rules to enhance readability and visibility:- Due Date Coloring: Highlight due dates in red if today’s date > Due Date AND status ≠ Completed.
- Status-Based Cell Colors: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Failed", Orange for "Delayed".
- Daily Task Highlighting: Shade entire row in light blue if Date = TODAY().
- Overdue Flagging: Use icon sets to show red X for overdue tasks and green checkmark for on-time.
