The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate data aggregation and validation:- Auto-Fill Week Ending:
=WORKDAY(TODAY(), 6-WEEKDAY(TODAY()))— Automatically calculates the upcoming Friday. - Status Calculation: Use conditional logic like:
=IF([@DueDate] < TODAY(), IF([@Status]="Completed", "On Time", "Delayed"), IF([@Status]="Completed", "On Time", "On Track")) - Sum Hours by Employee:
=SUMIFS(WeeklyTracker[Hours Worked], WeeklyTracker[Employee Name], A2)in the dashboard to show individual workload. - % Complete (Project Level):
=IF([@Total Estimated] = 0, 0, [@Total Spent] / [@Total Estimated]) - Count of Active Projects per Employee:
=COUNTIFS(WeeklyTracker[Employee Name], A2, WeeklyTracker[Status], "<>Completed")
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhances readability and visual alerts:- Status Column: Color-coded (Red for "Blocked", Orange for "On Hold", Green for "Completed").
- Priorities: Highlighted with color: Red (Critical), Orange (High), Yellow (Medium), Gray (Low).
