Table Structures and Columns

1. Task Tracker (Employee View) – Core Table Structure

This sheet is the heart of the template and contains all tasks assigned to individual employees. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Task ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier (e.g., TSK-001) | | Event Name | Text | Name of the event this task supports | | Task Description | Text (Long) | Detailed description of the task (e.g., "Send invites to 50 attendees") | | Assigned To | Text (Employee Name or ID) | Employee responsible for completion | | Due Date | Date Type (MM/DD/YYYY) | Deadline for completing the task | | Start Date | Date Type (MM/DD/YYYY) | When work on this task began | | Priority Level | Drop-down List: High, Medium, Low, Not Started | Visual cue to indicate urgency | | Status | Drop-down: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, On Hold | Tracks current progress | | Estimated Hours | Number (Decimal) | Time estimated for task completion | | Actual Hours Spent | Number (Decimal) | Input by employee after completion | | Notes/Comments | Text (Long) | Space for additional context or delays |

2. Event Calendar

A pivot-style calendar showing all events on a weekly grid. | Column / Row Header | Data Type | |----------------------|-----------| | Week of [Date] | Date (e.g., "Week of 05/15/2024") | | Monday – Sunday | Daily Columns with time slots (9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, etc.) | | Event Name | Text | | Location | Text | | Organizer | Employee Name |

3. Resource Allocation

Tracks shared assets used across events. | Column | Data Type | |--------|-----------| | Resource ID | Text (e.g., AV-01) | | Resource Name (e.g., Projector) | Text | | Quantity Needed per Event | Number | | Assigned Event(s) | Comma-separated list of event names | | Booking Date Range | Date Range: Start – End |

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic Excel formulas to automate tracking and analysis: - Due Soon Alert:
`=IF(TODAY() + 1 >= Due_Date, "Due Tomorrow", IF(TODAY() >= Due_Date, "Overdue", ""))` - Progress Summary:
`=COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column) * 100` → Shows percentage of tasks completed for the week. - Task Count by Priority:
`=COUNTIFS(Priority_Level_Column, "High", Status_Column, "<>Completed")` → Counts pending high-priority tasks. - Workload Balance:
`=SUMIF(Assigned_To_Column, Employee_Name, Actual_Hours_Spent)` → Calculates total time spent per employee.

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual clarity with color-based alerts: - Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text (if Due Date < TODAY()) - Due Tomorrow: Orange fill for tasks due in one day - Pending High-Priority Tasks: Yellow highlight - Status Bar (Progress): Data bars applied to "Actual Hours Spent" vs. "Estimated Hours" - Employee Workload Heatmap: Color scale on the summary row per employee based on total hours
