Data Types & Formulas Required
The following formulas are implemented to enhance automation and real-time tracking:
- Automated Status Update (Main To-Do List):
=IF(TODAY() > [Date Due], "Overdue", IF([Status] = "Completed", "Completed", "Pending")) - Low Stock Alert (Product Inventory Database):
=IF(Current Quantity <= Reorder Level, "Reorder Now!", "") - Task Count by Status (Dashboard on Printable Sheet):
=COUNTIF(Main To-Do List!E:E, "Pending") - Priority Coloring Logic (Conditional Formatting Rule):
