=COUNTIF(E:E,"Completed") - % Completion:
=COUNTIF(E:E,"Completed")/COUNTA(A:A) - Variance in Time (Actual vs Estimated):

- Budget Usage (%):
=SUM(Actual Spend)/Total Budgetlinked from Monthly Plan Overview. - Status Color Indicator: Nested IF in conditional formatting logic to auto-color rows (see below).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red Highlight: If Status = “Delayed” AND Priority = “Critical” → Row turns red.
- Yellow Highlight: If Actual Time > Estimated Time * 1.5 → Yellow background to flag inefficiency.
- Green Highlight: If Status = “Completed” and Priority = “High” → Light green fill for high-impact completed tasks.
- Date Warning: If Date is past today and Status ≠ “Completed”, row flashes with orange border.
User Instructions
- Start each month by updating the Monthly Plan Overview with goals, campaigns, and budget.
- Open the Task Library, copy and paste relevant tasks into the Daily Tracker for each day of the month.
- Daily: Assign chores to team members before 9 AM. Update Status by EOD.

- Use the Weekly Summary sheet to evaluate productivity and adjust task allocation next week.
- At month-end, review KPI results against objectives. Document lessons in the “Notes” section of Monthly Plan Overview.

- Weekly Completion Rate Bar Chart: Shows if your team is on track. A dip indicates burnout or unclear task assignments.
- Pie Chart: Task Category Distribution: Reveals if you’re over-focusing on one channel (e.g., 80% social, 5% email). Balance is key.
- Gauge Chart for Monthly Goal Progress: Tied to KPIs from the Overview sheet. For example, if your goal is 100 new leads and you’ve achieved 62 → gauge shows 62%.
