Formulas Required

To ensure dynamic functionality, the following formulas are embedded:

=COUNTIFS(Status,"Not Started"): Calculates incomplete tasks for summary cards.

=COUNTIFS(Due Date,"<="&TODAY(),Status,"<>Completed"): Identifies overdue tasks for urgent alerts.

=IF(TODAY()>[Due Date], "OVERDUE", IF(TODAY()=[Due Date]-3, "DUE SOON", "")): Automatically flags upcoming or missed deadlines in the Status column.

=SUMPRODUCT(--([Department]="Digital Marketing"), --([Status]="Completed")): Tracks completion rates by department for accountability reports.

=AVERAGEIFS(Days to Complete, Status, "Completed"): Calculates average task turnaround time for efficiency analysis.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enable immediate visual assessment, conditional formatting is applied:

Overdue Tasks (Red Background): Applies when Due Date < TODAY() and Status ≠ “Completed”.

DUE SOON (Amber Highlight): Applied when Due Date ≤ TODAY()+3 and Status is "In Progress" or "Not Started".

High Priority Tasks (Bold Red Text): When Prioritization = “Critical”.

Completed Tasks (Light Green Fill & Strikethrough): Automatically formats when Status changes to “Completed”.

Department Color Coding: Each department has a distinct background color in the Department column for easy visual grouping (e.g., Digital Marketing = Blue, Content = Green).

Instructions for the User

Update the “Staff List” on the hidden sheet (unhide via right-click tab > Unhide) with your team members’ names.

Populate the Master To-Do List with tasks from your current Marketing Plan. Ensure every task links to a specific objective.

Assign each task using the dropdown menus for Department and Assigned To — do not type manually to preserve data integrity.
