Formulas Required

A2 Formula (Task ID): =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
This auto-generates unique IDs based on date and row number.
F2 (Due Date - Planned): Uses IF and WEEKDAY logic:
=IF(D2="Daily", TODAY(), IF(D2="Weekly", TODAY()+7, IF(D2="Bi-weekly", TODAY()+14, IF(D2="Monthly", DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())+1, 1), ""))))
G2 (Status): Conditional logic based on date:
=IF(H2<>"", "Completed", IF(F2


    D2 (Completion Rate): =IF(COUNTA(B:B)=0, 0, (COUNTIF(G:G,"Completed") / COUNTA(B:B)) * 100)
    A2 in Data Log: =NOW()
    D3 (Avg Time): =AVERAGEIF(H:H, "<>", I:I)



Conditional Formatting


    Status Column (G): Color-coded:
        
            Completed: Green background with white text.
            Overdue: Red background, bold text.
            In Progress: Yellow background.
        
    
    Due Date (F): If the date is in the past and Status ≠ "Completed", highlight red.
    Time Taken (I): Highlight cells > 15 minutes in orange to flag unusually long tasks.
    Priorities: Color code High (Red), Medium (Yellow), Low (Green) in Column E.


User Instructions


    Open the template and save it with a personalized name (e.g., “Family_Chore_Chart_2024.xlsx”).
    Set up your team members in the "Assigned To" dropdown list in Column C.
    Add chores to the Chore Schedule sheet—assign frequency, priority, and due dates.
    Each day, update status and enter actual completion date/time if applicable.
    Use the Data Log sheet for historical tracking (automatically populated via formulas).
