Table Structures & Columns (with Data Types)

1. Task List (Sheet: Task List)

2. Budget Tracker (Sheet: Budget Tracker)

Formulas Required

• Status Summary (Project Overview): =COUNTIF(TaskList[Status], "Completed")/COUNTA(TaskList[Task ID]) * 100%
• Budget Variance: =(BudgetTracker[Actual Spent] - BudgetTracker[Planned Amount])/BudgetTracker[Planned Amount]
• Overdue Tasks Counter: =COUNTIFS(TaskList[Due Date], "<"&TODAY(), TaskList[Status], "<>"Completed")
• Workload per Team Member (Resource Allocation): =SUMIF(TaskList[Assigned To], A2, TaskList[Progress]) / COUNTIF(TaskList[Assigned To], A2) (A2 = member name)
• Auto-Update Task Status: Conditional logic to flag tasks due within 3 days using: =IF(AND(TaskList[Due Date] <= TODAY()+3, TaskList[Status] <> "Completed"), "Urgent", "")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Highlight red if Due Date is before today and status ≠ Completed.
• Budget Variance: Red for values > 10%, Amber for 5–10%, Green for ≤5%.
• Progress Bar (in Project Overview): Color-coded horizontal bars using data bars to visualize completion %.
• Status Column: Use color-coding: red = Not Started, yellow = In Progress, green = Completed.
