Formulas Required
To enable automation and dynamic tracking, the following formulas are implemented:
- Due Date Calculation:
=IF(Frequency="Daily", Assigned_Date+1, IF(Frequency="Weekly", Assigned_Date+7, IF(Frequency="Bi-Weekly", Assigned_Date+14, IF(Frequency="Monthly", EDATE(Assigned_Date,1), "")))) - Overdue Status Detection:
=IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", Due_Date - Last Completed Update (with manual override): Use a simple date input cell linked via =TODAY() or allow user entry.
- Completion Rate by Person:
Used in the dashboard:
=COUNTIFS(Responsible_Party_Column, "John", Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTIF(Responsible_Party_Column, "John")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual management and immediate status recognition:
- Overdue Chores: Red fill with white text for any task where Status ≠ Completed AND Due_Date < TODAY().
- High Priority Tasks: Orange background with bold text to draw attention.
- Status Indicators: Green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Overdue", gray for "Not Started".
- Daily Tracker Color Coding: Shade cells green if task is marked as complete on that date.
