| Column | Data Type | Description & Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID (Auto) | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | A unique identifier for each task, automatically generated using a formula to ensure no duplicates. |

| Category | List (Drop-down) | Predefined categories like Cleaning, Maintenance, Financial, Grocery, Personal Care, etc., pulled from the "Task Categories & Templates" sheet. |
| Due Date | Date | The deadline for completing the task. Used for prioritization and overdue tracking. |
| Priority Level | List (Low/Medium/High) | Assigns urgency: Low, Medium, or High – helps users focus on what matters most. |
| Status | List (Not Started / In Progress / Completed / Overdue) | Tracks current stage of the task. Automatically updated by formulas based on due date and completion check. |
| Completed On | Date (Optional) | When the task was marked as completed. Auto-populates when status changes to "Completed". |
Formulas Required
The template uses several dynamic formulas to automate tracking and enhance usability:
- Auto Task ID (Column A):
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"00")This creates unique IDs in the format "20240315-01", combining date and row number. - Status Auto Update (Column F):
=IF(E2="Completed", "Completed", IF(D2 - Days Until Due (Column G):
=IF(D2="", "", D2-TODAY())Shows how many days remain until a task is due. - Auto Completed On (Column G):
=IF(AND(E2="Completed", F2="Completed"), TODAY(), "")Logs the date when a task is marked as complete.
Conditional Formatting
To visually emphasize critical information:
- Overdue Tasks: Highlighted in bright red background with white text if due date has passed and status is not "Completed".
- High Priority Tasks: Yellow background with bold text for tasks marked as "High" priority.
- Due in 1-3 Days: Light orange fill to alert users of upcoming deadlines.
