Required Formulas
To enhance automation and reduce manual tracking errors, the template includes the following key formulas:
Weekly Total Hours: In each week’s summary row:
=SUMIF(WeeklyBreakdown!$C$2:$C$30, "Math", WeeklyBreakdown!$E$2:$E$30) → Calculates total hours spent per subject.
Status Percentage Tracker:
=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange) * 100 → Computes weekly completion rate (e.g., 85% of planned tasks completed).
Deadline Reminder:
=IF(AND(DueDate<=TODAY()+3, DueDate>=TODAY(), Status<>"Completed"), "Urgent!", "") → Highlights tasks due within the next 3 days.
The template uses smart conditional formatting rules to visually highlight important information:
Due Date Alerts: Red fill with white text for tasks due within 24 hours.
Status Indicators: Green (Completed), Yellow (In Progress), Red (Pending) in status cells.
Time Allocation Heatmap: Color scale from light blue to dark blue based on hours studied, identifying underutilized or overburdened days.
Past Due Tasks: Bold red text for any task with a due date earlier than today and not yet marked completed.
