Start Date	Date (MM/DD/YYYY)	Date when the task begins. Must be valid date format.
End Date	Date (MM/DD/YYYY)	Planned completion date for the task.
Actual Start Date	Date (Optional)	Date work actually began; can be blank if not started.
Actual End Date	Date (Optional)	Completion date if task is finished.

Formulas Required

The template leverages several Excel formulas to automate tracking and enhance functionality:

Progress Percentage Calculation:
=IF(OR([@Status]="Completed", [@Actual End Date]<>"", [@End Date]=""), 100%, IF([@Actual Start Date]="", 0%, MIN(100, (TODAY()-[@Start Date])/(DATEDIF([@Start Date], [@End Date], "D"))*100)))
Remaining Days:
=IF([@Status]="Completed", 0, IF([@Actual End Date]<>"", 0, DATEDIF(TODAY(), [@End Date], "D")))
Task Duration:
=DATEDIF([@Start Date], [@End Date], "D")
Overdue Indicator (Conditional Formatting Trigger):
=AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@End Date]



Conditional Formatting Rules

To provide visual cues for status, risk, and progress:


    Status Color Coding: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Overdue" (when end date has passed), Gray for "Not Started".
    Progress Bar Visualization: Data bars in the Progress (%) column to show completion level graphically.
    Deadline Alerts: Highlight rows with red background if End Date is within 3 days and status is not "Completed".
    Gantt Chart Color Coding: Gantt bars change color based on progress—green for completed, yellow for in progress, red for overdue.
