Table Structures & Columns

Daily Task Tracker Sheet (Primary Tracking Sheet)

This sheet serves as the core of the Tracking View, organized by day of the week with columns for task details, status, assignee, and completion notes. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | The specific date of the task. Auto-filled based on week starting Monday. | | Task Name | Text/Text (from Master List) | Descriptive name of the household task. Pulls from Task Master List via dropdown. | | Category | Text/Category (Dropdown) | Classification such as Cleaning, Maintenance, Grocery, Family Time, etc. | | Assignee | Text/User (Dropdown) | Person responsible for completing the task (pulls from User Assignments). | | Priority Level | Number (1-5 scale) or Text (Low/Med/High) | Indicates urgency; used for sorting and filtering. | | Expected Duration | Time (HH:MM format) | Estimated time required to complete the task. | | Actual Start Time | Time (HH:MM format) | When the task began execution. | | Actual End Time | Time (HH:MM format) | When the task was completed. | | Status | Text/Dropdown (Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Delayed) | Real-time tracking of progress. | | Completion Notes | Text (Optional) | Space for comments or observations about the task. |

Task Master List Sheet

A centralized reference that defines all available tasks with metadata: | Column | Data Type | |--------|-----------| | Task ID (Auto) | Number | | Task Name | Text | | Category | Text (e.g., Cleaning, Maintenance) | | Recurring Frequency | Text (Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly, One-Time) | | Default Assignee | Text/User Dropdown from User Assignments Sheet |

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to automate tracking and reporting:

Auto-date generation: Uses =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(TODAY()) - WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2) + 1) to set the Monday of the current week.
Status calculation: =IF(Actual_End_Time<>"", "Completed", IF(Actual_Start_Time<>"", "In Progress", "Not Started"))
Time tracking: Uses =IF(AND(Actual_Start_Time<>"", Actual_End_Time<>""), Actual_End_Time - Actual_Start_Time, 0) to calculate actual task duration.
Daily completion rate: In the Weekly Summary sheet: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column)
Assignee performance tracking: Uses =COUNTIFS(Assignee_Column, "John", Status_Column, "Completed") to track individual productivity.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues help users quickly identify status and priority:

Status Highlighting:
- “Completed” → Green background with checkmark icon.
- “Delayed” → Red background with warning triangle.
- “In Progress” → Yellow background.
Priorities: Color scales based on priority level (1 = Red, 5 = Green).
Overdue Tasks: Any task with status "Not Started" and date past today highlights in orange.
