FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Completion Rate (%): =IF(COUNTA(Status_Column) > 0, COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column), 0)
• Status Badge Logic: =IF(Completion_Rate >= 90%, "🟢 Excellent", IF(Completion_Rate >= 75%, "🟡 Satisfactory", "🔴 Needs Attention"))
• Auto-Date/Time Stamp on Completion: Use a VBA macro or worksheet formula (with helper column) to auto-fill the completion timestamp when the status is changed to “Completed”. Example: =IF(E2="Completed", NOW(), "")
• Chore ID Generator: Use an incremental number based on row count (e.g., =ROW()-1) or a formula linked to a counter in a hidden cell.
• Daily/Weekly Summary Counters: Use COUNTIFS() to tally tasks per employee, department, or date range for dynamic reporting.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

• Status-Based Color Coding: - Completed: Green fill - Overdue: Red background with white text - In Progress: Blue highlight
• Completion Rate Heatmap: Apply a color scale (Green → Yellow → Red) to the completion rate cells based on performance tiers.
• Overdue Task Highlighting: Use conditional formatting with a rule: if Due Date < TODAY() and Status ≠ "Completed" → highlight red.
