Essential Formulas

• Date Auto-Entry (Daily Task Tracker): Use =TODAY() in the Date column to auto-fill the current date.
• Status Tracking (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(DailyTaskTracker[Completed?], "Yes") to count completed chores.
• Overdue Detection: Use =IF(AND([@Due Time] < TIMEVALUE("12:00 PM"), [@[Completed?]]="No"), "Overdue", "On Track")
• Team Load Balance: =COUNTIF(ChoreList[Assigned To], A2) in Team Assignments to show each person’s workload.
• Completion Rate (Dashboard): =ROUND((Completed Chores / Total Chores) * 100, 1) & "%"

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Priority Levels: Highlight "Critical" in red, "High" in orange, and "Medium/Low" in yellow.
• Status Column: Green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Pending".
• Overdue Chores: Apply conditional formatting to cells with overdue tasks (using the formula above) to turn background red.
• Daily Tracker Completion: Use data bars or color scales on the "Completed?" column for visual progress.
