Table Structures and Column Definitions

Next Due Date	Date (Formula-driven)	Dynamically calculates the next occurrence based on recurrence pattern.

Formulas Required for Automation

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to maintain dynamic updates and minimize manual input:

Next Due Date (Cell G2):
=IF(Recurring="Yes", IF(Status="Completed", Due_Date+30, IF(Due_Date *This formula assumes monthly recurrence. Customize the interval as needed (e.g., 7 for weekly).


    Status Auto-Update:

        =IF(TODAY()>Due_Date, IF(Status="Completed", "Done", "Overdue"), Status)

        *Updates status to “Overdue” if not completed by the due date.
    Task Count by Category (Dashboard):

        =COUNTIF(Tasks[Category], "Cleaning")
    High Priority Tasks Counter:

        =COUNTIFS(Tasks[Priority], "High", Tasks[Status], "<>Completed")



Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity

To enhance readability and highlight critical tasks, the template applies conditional formatting rules:


    Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text if Due Date is earlier than today and status is not "Completed".
    High Priority Tasks: Orange background for tasks where Priority = "High".
    Status Indicators: Green (Completed), Yellow (In Progress), Gray (Not Started), Red (Overdue).
    Due Within 3 Days: Light blue highlight if Due Date is within the next 3 calendar days.
