Formulas Required for Automation
The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to enable automatic tracking and reporting:- Status Indicator Formula: Uses

=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange) * 100. - Total Study Time per Subject: Uses
SUMIFS(ActualDurationRange, SubjectRange, "Algebra")to aggregate time spent on each subject. - Days with Completed Tasks:
=COUNTIFS(StatusRange, "Completed", DayColumn, "<>"&"") - Pending vs. Completed Summary: Conditional count using
COUNTIFfunctions for visual reports.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance usability and provide instant visual feedback, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:- Status Color Coding:
- "Not Started" → Light Gray fill with red border
- "In Progress" → Yellow highlight
- "Completed" → Green background with checkmark emoji (✓)
- "Delayed" → Orange background with warning symbol (!)
- Time Deviation Indicator: If actual duration exceeds planned by 15%, the cell turns red.
