3. Project Tracker Sheet

This sheet lists all active projects and their status:

• Project ID (Text): Unique identifier (e.g., PRJ-001).
• Project Name (Text): Full project name.
• Start Date (Date).
• Deadline (Date).
• Status (Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, On Hold, Completed).
• Progress % (Number 0–100): Input or calculated.

4. Performance & Attendance Summary Sheet

A consolidated report for monthly evaluation:

• Date (Date).
• Attendance Status (Dropdown: Present, Absent, Late, On Leave).
• Work Hours Logged (Decimal Number): Aggregated from Daily Task Log.
• Tasks Completed (Number): Count of completed tasks per day.

Formulas Required

This template leverages several Excel formulas to automate data processing:

• Daily Hours Calculation: =IF(EndTime<>"", (EndTime-StartTime)*24, 0)
• Total Monthly Work Hours: =SUM(DailyTaskLog[Total Hours]) on the Overview sheet.
• Tasks Completed Count: =COUNTIF(DailyTaskLog[Status], "Completed")
• Project Progress Average: =AVERAGE(ProjectTracker[Progress %])
• Status Indicator (Color Code): Uses conditional formatting based on deadline proximity.
• Deadline Warning: =IF(Deadline<=TODAY()+3, "Urgent", "") — helps flag approaching deadlines.

Conditional Formatting

To improve readability and highlight critical information, the following rules are applied:

• Overdue Tasks: If a task deadline is past today’s date, the row turns red.
• Pending Status (High Priority): Rows with "High" priority and "Pending" status are highlighted in yellow.
• Absent Days: In Attendance Summary, “Absent” entries are marked in bright red.
• Progress Bars: Color scales applied to the “Progress %” column (green to red based on completion).
