- Growth Plan Dashboard: Visual and analytical overview showing progress toward planned home improvements and financial goals.
- Task Scheduler & Reminders: Calendar-based view with automated reminders based on recurring intervals (e.g., bi-annual HVAC checks).

=IF(Frequency="One-Time", Planned Date, IF(Frequency="Monthly", DATE(YEAR(Planned Date), MONTH(Planned Date)+1, DAY(Planned Date)), IF(Frequency="Quarterly", DATE(YEAR(Planned Date), MONTH(Planned Date)+3, DAY(Planned Date)), IF(Frequency="Bi-Annual", DATE(YEAR(Planned Date), MONTH(Planned Date)+6, DAY(Planned Date)), IF(Frequency="Annual", DATE(YEAR(Planned Date)+1, MONTH(Planned Date), DAY(Planned Date))))))) - Days Until Due (Column F):
=DAYS(Due_Date, TODAY()) - Total Cost by Category (Dashboard Sheet):
=SUMIF(Maintenance_Log!C:C, "HVAC", Maintenance_Log!H:H) - Completed Tasks Count:
=COUNTIF(Maintenance_Log!G:G, "Completed")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To improve usability and highlight urgent tasks:- Due Soon (Within 7 Days): If due date is within the next 7 days → Highlight cell in orange.
- Late Tasks: If task status ≠ "Completed" AND actual completion date is blank AND due date is before today → Highlight in red.
- Completed Tasks: Status = “Completed” → Apply green background with checkmark emoji (✓).
- Pending Tasks: Status = “Not Started” OR “In Progress” AND due date is in the future → Light blue fill.
