Formulas Required
The template uses several essential formulas to automate calculations:
- Total Task Count per Employee (Dashboard):
=COUNTIF(DailyTaskLog[Employee ID], A2) — Counts how many tasks are assigned to an employee.
- Task Completion Rate:
=IF(COUNTIF(DailyTaskLog[Status], "Completed"), COUNTIF(DailyTaskLog[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(DailyTaskLog[Status]), 0) — Calculates the percentage of tasks completed.
- Attendance Rate:
=COUNTIF(EmployeeSchedule[Status], "Present") / COUNTA(EmployeeSchedule[Status]) — Measures overall team attendance.
- Total Work Hours per Day:
=IF(ShiftEndTime > ShiftStartTime, (ShiftEndTime - ShiftStartTime) * 24, 0) — Calculates hours worked based on start and end times.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and identify key statuses:
- Status Column (Employee Schedule):
- "Present" → Green background.
- "Absent" → Red background.
- "On Leave" → Yellow background.
- "Remote" → Light blue background.
- Status Column (Daily Task Log):
- "Completed" → Green text with dark green fill.
- "Pending" → Red text.
- "In Progress" → Orange background.
- Time Spent Column:
Colors bars in the cell based on time spent (e.g., >60 minutes = dark blue, 30-60 = light blue).
