Table Structures & Columns (Chore Assignment Log)
The core of this template is the Chore Assignment Log, structured as a dynamic table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | Number (Auto-increment) | Unique identifier for each marketing task (e.g., 001, 002) |
| Chore Name | Text | Description of the marketing activity (e.g., “Publish Instagram Reel”, “Send Monthly Newsletter”) |
| Category | ||
| Assigned To | Text (Drop-down list of team members) | Name of the responsible employee or department |
| Due Date | Date | |
| Priority | Dropdown: High, Medium, Low | |
| Status | Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Delayed | |
| Expected Outcome | Text Area | |
| Actual Outcome (Post-Completion) | ||
| Spend ($) | ||
| Budgeted Spend ($) |
Formulas Required
- =COUNTIFS(StatusColumn,”Completed”) – Total tasks completed.
- =IF(TODAY()>DueDate, “Overdue”, IF(Status=”Completed”,”On Time”, “Pending”)) – Automatically evaluates task timeliness.
- =SUMIF(AssignedToColumn, “John Doe”, SpendColumn) – Calculates total spend per team member.
- =SUM(BudgetedSpend) - SUM(Spend) – Remaining budget for the quarter.
- =AVERAGEIFS(StatusColumn,”Completed”,PriorityColumn,”High”) – Ratio of high-priority tasks completed.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Due Date Red Fill: If Due Date < TODAY() AND Status ≠ “Completed” → Highlight row in red.
- Priority Color Coding: High = Red background, Medium = Yellow, Low = Light Green.
- Status Icons: Green checkmark for “Completed”, yellow hourglass for “In Progress”, red exclamation for “Delayed” using icon sets.
- Budget Overrun: If Spend > Budgeted Spend → Cell turns orange with warning text: "Exceeds Budget!"
