Table Structures and Columns
The main data structure resides in the Tasks & Schedule sheet, with a comprehensive table designed for detailed planning:
| Column Header | Data Type | Description / Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier (e.g., HMT-001, HMT-002). Automatically assigned using a formula. |
| Task Name | Text | Description of the task (e.g., "Replace bathroom tiles", "Schedule AC service"). |
| Category | List (Dropdown) | Home management categories: Maintenance, Cleaning, Renovation, Utilities, Personal Goals. |
| Start Date | Date | Actual start date of the task (e.g., 2024-05-15). |
| Due Date | Date | Deadline for task completion. |
| Duration (Days) | Numeric (Integer) | Number of days the task takes (e.g., 5 for a week-long renovation). |
| Status | List (Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Delayed) | Tracks current progress. |
| Progress (%) | Numeric (0–100) | Percentage of completion (e.g., 75% if three out of four steps are done). |
| Dependencies | Text/Reference (Task ID) | List of preceding tasks that must be completed first (e.g., "HMT-003"). |
| Assigned To | List (Dropdown: Family Member Names) | Name of the person responsible for the task. |
| Notes | Text | Additional details, reminders, or links to documents. |
Formulas Required
This template uses advanced Excel formulas for automation and real-time tracking:
- Auto-generated Task ID:
=CONCATENATE("HMT-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"))
(Inserts at the top of the table to generate unique identifiers.) - End Date Calculation:
=IF(Start_Date<>"", Start_Date + Duration_Days - 1, "")
Ensures accurate end date based on start and duration. - Progress Status Logic:
=IF(Progress=%=0, "Not Started", IF(Progress=%=100, "Completed", IF(Start_Date="", "", "In Progress")))
Dynamically updates status based on progress percentage. - Dependency Checker:
=IF(Dependencies<>"", IF(COUNTIF(Task_ID_Column, Dependencies)>0, "Valid", "Missing Dependency"), "")
Validates that required predecessors exist.
Conditional Formatting
Enhances visual clarity and alerts users to important statuses:
- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text if Due Date is earlier than today.
- Upcoming Deadlines (within 7 days): Yellow background for urgent attention.
- Status Indicators:
- Not Started → Light gray fill
- In Progress → Blue fill with white text
- Completed → Green fill with checkmark icon (using conditional formatting + emoji)
- Delayed → Orange background with warning symbol
- Gantt Chart Bars: Color-coded by category (e.g., green for Maintenance, blue for Renovation).
