Formulas Required
The template employs several dynamic formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:
- Total Duration (Hours):
=IF(OR(ISBLANK([@Start Time]), ISBLANK([@End Time])), "", ([@End Time] - [@Start Time]) * 24) - Activity ID Auto-Generate: Use a helper cell (e.g., in Cell A1) with
=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYMMDD") & "-" & TEXT(COUNTA(Activities[Activity ID])+1,"0000"), then reference this in the next available row. - Delay Indicator: In the Status column, use a conditional formula to flag delays:
=IF([@Status]="Delayed", 1, 0). - Daily Total Time by Activity Type: Use SUMIFS across the Time Log Entry table to aggregate durations per type.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual data interpretation:
- Status Column: Color-code based on value: Green for 'Completed', Yellow for 'In Progress', Red for 'Delayed'.
- Total Duration: Highlight entries exceeding 8 hours in red to identify long-duration tasks.
- Dates: Use a date highlight rule to color-code the past week (e.g., light blue) and upcoming week (yellow).
