Table Structures and Columns (Daily Schedule)

Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality

• DURATION (Column F):
  =IF(AND(E2<>"", D2<>""), (E2-D2)*24, 0)
  Converts time difference into hours (e.g., 3.5 for a 3.5-hour session).
• Weekly Total Hours per Subject:
  Use SUMIFS in the Subject Tracker sheet to sum duration by subject and week.
• Daily Summary (Total Study Time):
  In a summary row: =SUM(F2:F100) (adjust range based on data).
• Status Count:
  Use COUNTIF to tally how many tasks are "Complete" vs. "Pending".
• Pending Deadline Alerts:
  Conditional logic to highlight tasks due within 24 hours using =IF(AND(Status="Pending", Date=TODAY()+1), "URGENT", "").

Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity

• Prioritized Tasks: Highlight cells in red if Priority Level is 5, yellow for 4, green for ≤3.
• Status Indicators: Apply color coding: Green (Complete), Orange (In Progress), Red (Delayed).
• Daily Time Spent: Use data bars to visualize how much time is allocated per day across tasks.
• Overdue Tasks: Font color turned red if task date is earlier than today and status is not "Complete".
