Table Structures and Column Definitions

Daily Task Tracker (Sheet 1)

This table is the central hub of the Daily Planner. It uses a structured data format with clear column headers: | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Task ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier, e.g., "TASK-2024-101" | | Task Title | Text (up to 50 characters) | Brief name of the task (e.g., "Prepare Q3 Report") | | Category | Dropdown List (Finance, HR, IT Support, Facilities) | Helps in filtering and reporting by department | | Priority Level | Dropdown: High / Medium / Low / Not Started | Enables quick visual prioritization | | Assigned To | Text or Name Drop-Down (from Master Staff List) | Indicates responsible team member | | Due Time (HH:MM) | Time Format (e.g., 14:30) | Specific time deadline for task completion | | Status | Dropdown: Not Started / In Progress / Completed / On Hold | Tracks progress in real-time | | Start Time (HH:MM) | Time Format | When the task began, manually updated by user | | Duration (Minutes) | Number (Integer) | Total time spent on the task, auto-calculated via formula | | Notes/Comments | Text Area (up to 200 characters) | Additional context or reminders |

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas for automation and real-time updates:

Duration Calculation (Daily Task Tracker):
=IF(OR(Start_Time="", Due_Time=""), "", (Due_Time-Start_Time)*1440)
This converts time difference into minutes (multiplied by 1440 = minutes per day).
Task Completion Status Flag:
=IF(Status="Completed", "✓", IF(Status="On Hold", "⚠️", ""))
Displays visual indicators in the status column for quick scanning.
Count of Tasks by Priority (Dashboard):
=COUNTIF(Daily_Task_Tracker!C:C, "High")
Daily Task Completion Rate:
=COUNTIF(Daily_Task_Tracker!G:G, "Completed") / COUNTA(Daily_Task_Tracker!B:B) * 100
Shows percentage of completed tasks per day.
Conditional Date Validation:
=AND(Date=Today(), Status="Not Started") (Used in conditional formatting rules to highlight overdue tasks).

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent formatting to enhance readability and alert users:

Priority Highlighting:
- High Priority: Red background with white text
- Medium Priority: Yellow background
- Low Priority: Light green background
Overdue Tasks:
If "Due Time" is earlier than current time and status ≠ "Completed", apply bold red font.
Status Indicators:
Use emoji icons (✓, ⚠️, ✗) based on the Status column to visually represent completion or issues.
