Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and automate calculations:

• Status Tracking Formula: =IF(AND([@[Start Time]]<>"", [@Status]="Completed"), "Yes", "No") – flags completed tasks with time tracking.
• Daily Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column) – calculates percentage of completed tasks daily.
• Task ID Generation: Uses a formula to auto-generate Task IDs based on event code and sequential numbering.
• Pivot Table Integration: Dashboard pulls data from Chore Tracker via dynamic pivot tables linked to the master list.

Conditional Formatting

The template implements intelligent visual cues:

• Priority Colors: Red for High, Yellow for Medium, Green for Low priority tasks.
• Status Highlights: Red background for "Blocked" status; green text and checkmark emoji (✔) when "Completed".
• Due Date Alerts: If a task's due date is within 24 hours, the entire row turns orange.
• Workload Balance: Conditional formatting in the team workload chart highlights imbalance (e.g., one person has >3x more tasks).
