Formulas and Automation Features

The template leverages Excel’s advanced formula capabilities for real-time tracking and intelligence:

• Task Completion Rate Calculation (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(TaskTable[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(TaskTable[Status]) — Provides a percentage of completed tasks over total.
• Overdue Tasks Counter: =COUNTIFS(TaskTable[Due Date], "<"&TODAY(), TaskTable[Status], "<>"Completed") — Counts pending tasks past due date.
• Next Renewal Warning (Vendors Sheet): =IF(AND([@Renewal Date] <= TODAY()+30, [@Renewal Date] >= TODAY()), "Due Soon", IF([@Renewal Date] < TODAY(), "Past Due", "")) — Flags contracts due within 30 days or already overdue.
• Warranty Expiry Alerts (Resources Sheet): =IF([@Warranty Expiry] <= TODAY()+90, "Renew Soon", IF([@Warranty Expiry] < TODAY(), "Expired", "")) — Flags assets needing attention before or after expiration.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and enable quick decision-making:

• Overdue Tasks (Task Table): Highlight in red if due date is earlier than today and status ≠ “Completed”.
• Prioritized Tasks: Color-code high-priority tasks with bright yellow background; medium in light blue; low in gray.
• Contract Renewal Status (Vendors Sheet): Red for "Past Due", orange for "Due Soon", green otherwise.
• Warranty Expiry Alerts: Light red fill if expiry is within 90 days or already expired.
• Meeting Conflicts: Flag overlapping meetings based on date/time ranges using formula-based rules.
