Table Structures & Columns (Main Weekly Planner)

The Main Weekly Planner uses structured tables with defined data types for accuracy and ease of filtering. <

Column	Data Type	Description
Employee ID	Text/Number (Unique)	Auto-generated unique identifier for each employee.
Name	Text (First & Last)	Name of the employee from Employee Directory.
Department	Text (Dropdown)	Categorized department (e.g., Marketing, IT, HR).
Role/Position	Text	Job title or position within the organization.
Monday – Friday Tasks	Multiple Columns: Text (Task Description)
Status (Mon–Fri)	Dropdown: Not Started / In Progress / Completed / Blocked	Status for each task per day.
Hours Worked (Per Day)	Number (Decimal, 0.5 increments)	Time logged per employee daily.
Total Weekly Hours	Formula	Automatically sums hours from Mon–Fri.
Priority Level	Dropdown: Low / Medium / High / Critical	Indicates urgency of tasks.

Formulas Required (Key Calculations)

Total Weekly Hours: =SUM(Daily_Hours_Columns) applied to each row for cumulative weekly time.
Status Count: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") to count completed tasks per employee.
Average Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column) for performance benchmarking.
Task Load Indicator: A conditional formula flagging employees with over 5 high-priority tasks: =IF(COUNTIF(Priority_Column, "High") + COUNTIF(Priority_Column, "Critical") > 5, "Overloaded", "").

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data visibility and prompt immediate action:

Task Status Highlighting: Red for “Blocked”, Yellow for “In Progress”, Green for “Completed”.
Prioritized Tasks: Bold red text with orange fill if priority is "Critical".
Overdue Tasks: If a task is not completed by Friday and status remains "In Progress", highlight the entire row in light red.
Workload Warning: Highlight rows where total weekly hours exceed 40 with yellow background and bold text.
Date Validation: If the week end date is not within current calendar week, display a warning triangle icon via data validation.
