Formulas Required

The template relies on advanced Excel formulas for automation and reporting. Key formulas include:

=IF([@Date]=TODAY(), "Today", IF([@Date]<TODAY(), "Overdue", "Future"))

— Automatically determines task status relative to current date.

=IF(AND([@Status]="Pending", [@Frequency]="Daily"), IF(TODAY()-[@Date]>1, "Overdue", ""), "")

— Flags overdue daily chores if not completed within 24 hours.

=COUNTIFS(Daily Summary Report[Status], "Completed", Daily Summary Report[Assigned To], A2)

— Count of completed chores for a family member in the dashboard.

=ROUND(AVERAGEIF(Chore Tracker[Completion Time], "<>""", Chore Tracker[Completion Time]), 1)

— Average time to complete chores (useful for efficiency analysis).
