Data Types and Required Formulas
Key Formulas:
- Status Indicator (in Active Tasks List): Use nested IF statements to automatically update status:
=IF([@Due_Date]
- Days Until Due: Calculates remaining days before deadline:
=IF([@Due_Date]="", "", [@Due_Date]-TODAY())
- Next Recurring Task Date (in Recurring Tasks): Dynamically calculates next due date based on frequency:
=IF([@Frequency]="Weekly", [@Last_Completed]+7, IF([@Frequency]="Monthly", EDATE([@Last_Completed],1), IF([@Frequency]="Quarterly", EDATE([@Last_Completed],3), "N/A")))
- Dashboard Progress Gauge: Use a formula to calculate percentage of completed tasks:
=COUNTIF('Active Tasks List'!F:F,"Completed") / COUNTA('Active Tasks List'!A:A) * 100
Conditional Formatting
Apply the following formatting rules to enhance readability and prioritize action:
- Overdue Tasks: If "Days Until Due" is negative, highlight row in red with bold text.
- High Priority Tasks: Apply yellow fill to tasks where priority is set to "Urgent" (using a data validation dropdown).
- Status Color Coding: Use color scales: green for "Completed", amber for "In Progress", and red for "Overdue".
- Upcoming Deadlines: Highlight tasks with due dates in the next 3 days with a soft orange background.
