=IF(Frequency="Daily", TODAY(), IF(Frequency="Weekly", TODAY()+7, IF(Frequency="Monthly", EOMONTH(TODAY(),1), ""))) - Status Logic: Automatically detect overdue entries:
=IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", Date - Completion Rate per User: Calculate percentage of completed tasks by individual using COUNTIFS with SUMIFS for weighted metrics.
- Auto-update on Master Checklists: Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull task titles and categories from the master sheet into the tracker based on Task ID.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhances visual monitoring of compliance health:- Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text for any row where Status ≠ "Completed" and Date < TODAY().
- Pending Daily Tasks: Yellow highlight for items due today but not yet marked as completed.
- Habit Streaks: Green color coding for consecutive days of completion (e.g., 7+ days in a row).
