Formulas Required (Key Automations)

To ensure dynamic and real-time data updates, the following formulas are implemented:

Total Assigned Tasks (Employee Overview):
=COUNTIF(tblTasks[Assigned To], [@Name])

Completed Tasks (Employee Overview):
=SUMIFS(tblTasks[Status], tblTasks[Assigned To], [@Name], tblTasks[Status], "Completed")

On-Time Completion Rate:
=IF([@Total Assigned Tasks]=0, 0, [@Completed Tasks]/[@Total Assigned Tasks])
Formatted as percentage.

Days Remaining (Task Assignments):
=IF([@Due Date]="", "", [@Due Date]-TODAY())

Overdue Flag:
=IF(AND([@Status] <> "Completed", [Days Remaining] < 0), "Yes", "No")

Auto-fill Completion Date:
Use Data Validation with a VBA macro (or conditional formula via helper column) to auto-populate when status changes to “Completed”.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues help managers instantly assess task health and employee performance:

Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text for tasks where Days Remaining < 0 and Status ≠ Completed.

Critical Priority Tasks: Dark red background if Priority = "Critical".

On-Time Completion Rate: Traffic light color scale (Green: >85%, Yellow: 60–84%, Red: <60%).

Status Column: Color-coded dropdowns (e.g., Blue = In Progress, Green = Completed).

Due Date Proximity: Light orange if due within 3 days.
