=IF(AND(H2="Pending",A2 - Time Efficiency Ratio: Calculates how closely actual time matches planned:
=IF(F2<>0,G2/F2,0) - Weekly Task Count: Counts tasks per week using:
=COUNTIFS(A:A,">="&StartOfWeek, A:A,"<"&EndOfWeek) - Progress Dashboard Metrics: Uses SUMIF and COUNTIF to calculate completion percentages across goals.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and focus, the template applies advanced conditional formatting:
- Pending Tasks with Past Due Dates: Red background, white text.
- High-Priority Tasks: Orange highlight.
- Completed Tasks: Green background with checkmark emoji.
- Overtime vs. Planned Time: If actual time exceeds planned by 20%, cell turns yellow; if more than 50%, turns red.
