Data Types & Formulas

The template incorporates dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates and accuracy:

Duration Calculation: =IF(End_Date > Start_Date, End_Date - Start_Date + 1, 0)
Progress Percentage: =IFERROR(TODAY()<Start_Date,0), IF(TODAY()>End_Date,100%, (TODAY()-Start_Date)/(End_Date-Start_Date)*100))
Status Indicator: =IF(Progress=100%, "Completed", IF(TODAY()>End_Date, "Overdue", "In Progress"))
Dependency Check: =IF(OR(Depends_On=""), TRUE, ISBLANK(VLOOKUP(Depends_On, Task_Details!A:B, 2, FALSE)))

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight for managers:

Overdue Tasks: Red fill with bold text (if TODAY() > End Date and Status ≠ "Completed")
Upcoming Deadlines (within 3 days): Yellow highlight with warning icon
Status Indicators: Color-coded cells: Green = Completed, Amber = In Progress, Red = Overdue
Progress Bars: Data bars in progress column (0% to 100%) for visual representation of task completion

Tip: Use Excel’s "New Rule" under Conditional Formatting to apply these based on cell values or formulas.
