- Duration (Hours):
=IF(End_Time="", "", (End_Time - Start_Time) * 24)– Converts time difference into decimal hours. - Daily Total Hours: In the Daily Summary Dashboard, use:
=SUMIFS('Time Log (Employee View)'!$G:$G, 'Time Log (Employee View)'!$A:$A, TODAY()). - Category-wise Hours: Use
SUMIFS('Time Log (Employee View)'!$G:$G, 'Time Log (Employee View)'!$D:$D, "Inventory Management", 'Time Log (Employee View)'!$A:$A, TODAY()). - Weekly Average Hours:

=Daily Total Hours / 8(assuming an 8-hour workday).
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
- **High Duration Alerts**: Apply red fill to any row where duration exceeds 4 hours, with yellow text — indicating potential inefficiency or over-allocation. - **Missing End Time**: Use conditional formatting to highlight rows in the "End Time" column if blank (e.g., pink background). - **Status Updates**: Color-code cells in "Status" based on value: - Completed → Green fill - In Progress → Orange fill - Pending Review → Red fill - **Pie Chart Slices**: Automatically color-coded by Task Category for visual clarity.INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER (Employee View)
