`Due Date`	Date (mm/dd/yyyy)	Deadline for completion. Enables overdue task detection and timeline analysis.
`Status`	Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Deferred	Real-time status tracking; key metric for data collection on productivity trends.
`Completion Date`	Date (optional)	Filled automatically when Status changes to "Completed". Critical for cycle time analysis.
`Estimated Time (hrs)`	Numeric (0.5 to 16.0)	Employee's estimated effort required. Used for workload forecasting and time tracking accuracy analysis.

=IF(Status="Completed", 1, 0): Binary flag for completed tasks (used in percentage calculations).
=COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusColumn): Overall completion rate formula for employee dashboard.
=SUMIFS(ActualTimeColumn, StatusColumn, "Completed", PriorityLevelColumn, "High"): Total time spent on high-priority tasks.
=IF(A2="", TODAY(), A2): Auto-populates Due Date with today's date if left blank (optional).

Conditional Formatting Rules

Overdue Tasks: Highlight due dates that are past today using conditional formatting with rule: =DueDate

        Status Progress: Use data bars in Status column to visually represent completion rate
        Time Deviation: Highlight rows where Actual Time exceeds Estimated Time by more than 20% using: =ActualTime > (EstimatedTime * 1.2)
        Duplicate Task IDs: Flag duplicates with red text and background to prevent data integrity issues
