Table Structures and Columns
The primary data table on the "Compliance Tracker" sheet consists of the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | Text (Auto-generated) | A unique identifier for each task (e.g., C-001, C-002). |
| Category | Dropdown List (from Task Categories sheet) | Select from pre-defined categories like Legal, Health, Safety, Insurance. |
| Description | Text | A clear description of the compliance task (e.g., "Renew Homeowners Insurance"). |

| Reminder Date | Date (Formula-based) | Calculated as 7 days before due date for early warnings. |

Formulas Required
- Status Indicator Formula: Conditional logic to mark status color based on due date and completion.
- Reminder Date (Auto-fill): =IF(Due_Date <> "", Due_Date - 7, "") – sets reminder 7 days before deadline.
- Overdue Detection: =IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", Due_Date<TODAY()), "Yes", "No") – flags overdue items.
- Total Tasks by Category: SUMIFS formula on the Dashboard sheet to count tasks per category.
- Percentage Complete: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column) * 100 – shows overall compliance rate.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and visual tracking, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text when due date is earlier than today and status ≠ Completed.
- Upcoming Reminders (within 7 days): Yellow highlight for tasks with reminder date equal to or less than today.
- Status Colors: Green for "Completed", Amber for "In Progress", Red for "Overdue", Gray for "Not Started".
- Last Updated (Recent): Light blue if last updated within the past 7 days, light gray otherwise.
