Table Structure and Columns (Weekly Chore Tracker)

The primary data input sheet, Weekly Chore Tracker, features a well-organized table that spans from Monday through Sunday. Each row represents a different chore, and each column corresponds to a day of the week. Here’s the detailed structure:

Formulas Required for Data Collection & Automation

• Total Completed (Weekly): =COUNTIF(B2:H2,"Yes") – Counts the number of "Yes" entries across the seven weekday columns.
• Completion Rate (%): =IF(COUNTA(B2:H2)=0,0,COUNTIF(B2:H2,"Yes")/7*100) – Calculates weekly performance percentage with zero handling.
• Automated Color Coding (Conditional Formatting): See below.
• Dynamic Task Count by Person: In the Data Summary sheet, use SUMIFS and COUNTIFS to tally tasks assigned and completed per individual.
• Prioritization Filter Indicator: Use a formula to flag chores with "High" priority for special attention.

Conditional Formatting for Visual Data Collection

To enhance data visualization and immediate insight, the template applies conditional formatting rules:

• Chore Completion Status (Daily Cells):
  • If cell = "Yes" → Green background with white checkmark icon.
  • If cell = "No" → Red background with a red X icon.
• Completion Rate (Weekly Column):
  • Rate ≥ 90% → Bright green
  • 70% ≤ Rate < 90% → Yellow
  • Rate < 70% → Light red
• Prioritization Level (High Priority): Apply bold and orange fill to all chores labeled "High" for visual emphasis.
