FORMULAS REQUIRED
Key formulas ensure automation and accuracy: - **Total Hours**: `=IF(End_Time > Start_Time, End_Time - Start_Time, (End_Time + 1) - Start_Time)` *Handles cases where shifts span midnight.* - **Overtime Flag**: `=IF(Total_Hours>8,"Yes","No")` - **Name Lookup (from Employee Data)**: `=VLOOKUP(Employee_ID,Employee_Data!$A$2:$G$100,2,FALSE)` - **Weekly Total Hours per Employee & Project**: `=SUMIF(Employee_ID_Column, "E123", Total_Hours_Column)` used in Weekly Summary sheet. - **Payroll Calculation**: `=(Regular_Hours * Hourly_Rate) + (Overtime_Hours * (Hourly_Rate * 1.5))`CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
Visual cues enhance usability: - **Red Background**: If Total Hours > 10 hours in a day (excessive workload). - **Yellow Highlight**: If Overtime Flag = "Yes". - **Green Text**: For employees who worked exactly 8 hours (ideal). - **Date Validation Rules**: Invalid dates trigger red borders. - **Dropdown List Formatting**: Ensures consistent input for Project/Task and Department.INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
