- Auto-fill Dates: Use
=DATE(YYYY, MM, 1)in cell A2 and drag down to generate each day of the month. - Status Tracking: In Monthly Overview sheet:
=COUNTIF(DailyPlanner!D:D,"Completed") / COUNTA(DailyPlanner!A:A) * 100to calculate completion percentage. - Priority Color Coding: Use IF statements with conditional formatting to highlight high-priority tasks.
- Task Reminder Logic:
=IF(AND(DailyPlanner!A2=TODAY(), DailyPlanner!C2="High"), "URGENT", "") - Resource Conflict Detection:
=IF(COUNTIFS(ResourceCalendar!$B:$B, DailyPlanner!A2, ResourceCalendar!$C:$C, "Conference Room 3") > 1, "Conflict!", "")
Conditional Formatting Rules
- High Priority Tasks: Background color red with white text for any task marked as “High” priority.
- Due Today: Highlight dates in the Daily Planner where the date equals today's date using conditional formatting based on
=A2=TODAY(). - Overdue Tasks: If a task is marked “Not Started” but has a due date earlier than today, apply orange background.
- Status Progress: Use data bars to visualize the time allocated per day (e.g., light blue bars increasing in length).
User Instructions

- Select your current month using the dropdown at the top of the Monthly Overview sheet.
- Fill in daily tasks on the Daily Planner sheet by selecting a date, entering task details, assigning a team member, and setting priority.
- Use Task Master to define recurring office responsibilities (e.g., "Monthly Inventory Check"). The template will auto-populate these into the Daily Planner based on frequency.

- Update task status daily to reflect progress and ensure accuracy in performance metrics.
- Use the Performance Dashboard to monitor team productivity, identify bottlenecks, and plan for resource allocation next month.
