Table Structures & Columns (Daily Task Log)
The primary sheet—Daily Task Log—is structured as a dynamic table with the following columns:| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Constraints |
|---|---|---|
| Date (Daily) | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Auto-filled with today’s date using =TODAY() formula. Prevents manual entry to ensure consistency. |
| Task ID | Text/Number (e.g., OM-2024-001) | Unique identifier for each task, automatically generated via a sequence counter. |
| Description | Text (max 50 characters) | Brief task name or objective (e.g., "Printer Maintenance," "Meeting Room Booking"). |
| Department | Dropdown (from User Assignments sheet) | Select from predefined departments: Admin, IT, HR, Finance, Facilities. |
| Assigned To | Dropdown (from User Assignments sheet) | User’s name or email. Linked to role and availability.|
| Status | Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Overdue | Real-time visibility into task progress; used for conditional formatting. |
| Priority | Dropdown: Low, Medium, High, Critical | Determines urgency and resource allocation. |
| Estimated Time (mins) | Numeric (0–1440) | <Duration of task in minutes. Used to calculate workload. |
| Actual Time Spent (mins) | Numeric | Manually updated by user upon completion. |
| Budget Code | Note: This field is only relevant if the office has budget tracking for specific tasks. | |
| Notes | Text (optional) | Comments, updates, or escalation reasons. |
Formulas Required
Key formulas ensure automation and data integrity:- Auto-generate Task ID:
=IF(A2="","",CONCATENATE("OM-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")))
This generates unique identifiers like OM-2024-001, OM-2024-002. - Overdue Status Check:
=IF(AND(Status="In Progress", TODAY()>Due_Date), "Overdue", IF(Status="Completed", "Done", Status)) - Workload Calculation:
=SUMIFS('Daily Task Log'!$H:$H, 'Daily Task Log'!$C:$C, C2)(for individual workload per user). - Daily Summary Count:
=COUNTIFS('Daily Task Log'!A:A, TODAY(), 'Daily Task Log'!F:F, "Completed")
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply dynamic formatting for visual clarity:- Status Colors:
Red (Overdue), Yellow (In Progress), Green (Completed), Gray (Not Started). - Priority Highlighting:
Critical tasks highlighted in bright red; High in orange; Medium in yellow. - Time Spent vs. Estimated:
If Actual Time > 120% of Estimated, background turns red. - Department-wise Heatmap:
Use color scales to show task density per department (e.g., darker blue = more tasks).
