Sheet Names
- Main Tracker (Employee View): The primary dashboard where employees input and monitor their assigned tasks.
- Project Overview: A high-level summary of all active marketing projects with status indicators and key milestones.
- Performance Dashboard: Visual representation of campaign progress, KPIs, completion rates, and workload distribution.
- Task Reference Guide: A lookup table with standard task types, durations, dependencies, and responsible roles for consistency.
Table Structures & Columns
The core of the template is the Main Tracker (Employee View), structured as a dynamic table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID (Auto) | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each task, auto-assigned using a formula. |
| Project Name | Text | Name of the overarching marketing project (e.g., "Q3 Product Launch"). |
| Task Title | Text (Max 100 chars) | Description of the specific task (e.g., "Design social media graphics"). |
| Assigned To (Employee Name) | Text / Data Validation List | Dropdown list of team members; auto-fills based on employee records. |
| Status | Data Validation (To Do, In Progress, Review, Completed) | Current workflow stage of the task. |
| Start Date | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | Planned start date for the task. |
| Due Date | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | Mandatory deadline for completion. |
| Actual Completion Date | Date (Optional) | When the task was actually finished; auto-populates when status = Completed. |
| Duration (Days) | Numerical (Formula-based) | Calculated as: Due Date - Start Date. Dynamic update if dates change. |
| Progress (%) | Number (0–100) | Manual input or formula-based progress tracking (e.g., 50% complete). |
| Priority Level | Data Validation (High, Medium, Low) | Helps prioritize workload based on project urgency. |
| Dependencies | Text/List (Reference Task IDs) | List of task IDs that must be completed before this one begins. |
Formulas Required
- Auto-generated Task ID:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(COUNTA($A$2:A2)+1,"000") - Days to Due Date (Remaining):
=IF(DUE_DATE="", "", IF(DUE_DATE - Actual Completion Auto-fill:
=IF(STATUS="Completed", TODAY(), "") - Task Duration (Days):
=IF(OR(ISBLANK([Start Date]), ISBLANK([Due Date])), "", [Due Date] - [Start Date]) - Progress Status Alert:
=IF([Progress (%)]=100, "Complete", IF(AND([Status]="In Progress", DATEDIF(TODAY(),[Due Date], "d")<=3), "Urgent", ""))
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Tasks: Highlight any task where Due Date is earlier than today and Status ≠ Completed (Red fill).
- Pending Tasks with High Priority: Apply orange highlight to tasks where Priority = High and Status = "To Do" or "In Progress".
- Progress Bar Visualization: Use Data Bars in the Progress (%) column for visual representation of completion.
- Upcoming Deadlines (within 7 days): Apply yellow background to tasks where Due Date is within the next 7 calendar days and Status ≠ Completed.
