- Calendar View: Displays a monthly calendar with task deadlines and key academic dates.

Formulas Required
The template leverages several advanced Excel formulas to ensure dynamic functionality:
- Task ID Generation:
=CONCAT("EDU-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))(Auto-increments with each new row). - Status Update Logic: Uses
=IF(AND(Status="Completed", Completion_Date=""), TODAY(), Completion_Date)to auto-fill completion date. - Days Until Due:
=DAYS(Due_Date, TODAY()), which shows remaining days (negative if overdue). - Progress Percentage:
=IF(COUNTA(Status)=0, 0%, COUNTIF(Status,"Completed")/COUNTA(Status)). - Overdue Tasks Counter:
=COUNTIFS(Due_Date,"<"&TODAY(), Status,"<>Completed"). - Summary on Dashboard: Uses
SUMIF,COUNTIFS, andAVERAGEIFto aggregate data from the Task List.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical information, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text for tasks where Due Date is earlier than today and Status ≠ Completed.
- High Priority Tasks: Orange background for tasks marked "High" priority.
- Status Changes: Green shading when Status = "Completed"; yellow when "In Progress".
- Days Until Due: Color scale: Red (0–3 days), Yellow (4–7 days), Green (>7 days).
