Formulas Required

  • Auto-Week Number: In the Weekly Planner, use =TEXT(A1,"WW") & " W" (assuming A1 contains week start date).
  • Dates Calculation: End Date = Start Date + 6 days: =B2+6.
  • Progress Tracking: In Monthly Overview, use =SUMIF(WeeklyPlanner!D:D, "Goal Category", WeeklyPlanner!C:C)/Target * 100.
  • Task Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(WeeklyPlanner!I:I, TRUE) / COUNTA(WeeklyPlanner!I:I).
  • Status Color Logic: Use a formula like =IF(E2="Completed", "Green", IF(E2="Delayed", "Red", "Yellow")) for conditional formatting.

Conditional Formatting Rules

  • Task Priority: Highlight High (Red), Medium (Orange), Low (Light Yellow).
  • Status Column: Green for “Completed”, Red for “Delayed”, Yellow for “In Progress”.
