Formulas Required for Functionality
- Task ID (A2):
=TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), combined with a prefix "T" via text concatenation. - Status Update (E2): Uses an IF statement to check the due date:
=IF(D2="", "Pending", IF(TODAY()>D2, "Overdue", IF(F2<>"", "Completed", "In Progress"))) - Date Completed (F2):
=IF(E2="Completed", TODAY(), ""), automatically fills when status is set to "Completed". - Total Tasks Count (B2 in Dashboard):
=COUNTA(To_Do_List[Task Description]) - 1 (header) - Completed Tasks Count (B3):
=COUNTIF(To_Do_List[Status], "Completed") - Overdue Tasks Count (B4):
=COUNTIFS(To_Do_List[Status], "Overdue", To_Do_List[Due Date], "<="&TODAY()) - Status Breakdown % (C2:C4): Division formula:
=B2/$B$1*100, formatted as percentage. - Last Updated (D5):
=TODAY()
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Tasks: Highlight entire row red if Due Date is before TODAY() and Status is not "Completed".
- Due Tomorrow: Yellow highlight for tasks due tomorrow (use formula:
=D2=TODAY()+1) - Status Color Coding:
- Pending: Gray fill, black text
- In Progress: Blue fill, white text
- Completed: Green fill, white text
- Overdue: Red fill, white text
- Dashboards: Use data bars for the "Status Breakdown" percentage cells to visualize progress.
User Instructions
