Table Structures and Columns (Employee View - Main Sheet)

Possible values: "Not Started", "In Progress", "On Hold", "Completed"

Determines task urgency for workload balancing.

Category of inventory involved (e.g., Electronics, Packaging Materials, Raw Materials).

Financial code associated with the task for cost tracking.

Column	Data Type	Description
Employee Name	Text (String)	Name of the assigned employee. Example: "Alex Morgan"
Task ID	Numeric (Auto-increment)	Unique identifier for each inventory task (e.g., INV-001).
Task Description	Text	Description of the inventory activity. Examples: "Cycle Count – Aisle 3", "Receive Shipment #8721", "Update Stock Records in ERP".

Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality

To ensure the Gantt chart remains interactive and automatically updated, several formulas are applied across sheets:

Duration Calculation (in Days): =IF(End_Date This formula calculates the number of calendar days the task spans.


    Progress Bar Width (for Gantt visualization):
        =MIN(1, % Complete / 100) * 365 
        Used in a conditional column to visualize progress width on the Gantt bar. The value is scaled to fit within a date timeline (365 cells representing days).
    
    Status Color Logic:
        =IF(Status="Completed", "Green", IF(Status="In Progress", "Yellow", IF(Status="On Hold", "Orange", "Red"))) 
        Returns color codes for conditional formatting.



Conditional Formatting Rules

The template uses dynamic conditional formatting to enhance readability and visual tracking:


    Task Progress Bars: Applied to a hidden "Gantt Width" column, using data bars (gradient fill) based on "% Complete" values.
    Status Color Coding: Rows are color-highlighted based on the Status column:
        
            "Completed" → Green
            "In Progress" → Yellow
            "On Hold" → Orange
            "Not Started" → Light Gray
        
    
    Overdue Alerts: Conditional formatting highlights cells in red if the current date exceeds the "End Date". Formula: 
        =AND(End_Date"Completed")
    


User Instructions for Effective Use
