The template uses several built-in formulas to automate tracking and analysis:- Status Progress Calculation: In the Dashboard, a formula like
=COUNTIF(TaskTracker[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(TaskTracker[Task ID])calculates project completion percentage. - Overdue Task Indicator: Using
=IF(AND([@Due Date] < TODAY(), [@Status] <> "Completed"), "Overdue", "")to flag late tasks. - Workload % Calculation: In the Resource Matrix,
=SUMIFS(TaskTracker[Hours Estimated], TaskTracker[Assigned To], [Employee Name]) / 40, assuming a 40-hour workweek. - Automated Weekly Summary: Uses
VLOOKUPandCONCATENATEfunctions to pull key metrics into the Weekly Summary Report. - Duplicate Task Detection: Conditional formula checks for duplicate entries by comparing Task IDs using
COUNTIF.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To improve readability and visual tracking:- Task Status Color-Coding: Red for "Blocked", Yellow for "In Progress", Green for "Completed", Gray for "Not Started". Applied to the Status column.
- Overdue Tasks Highlight: Use formula-based rule:
=AND([@Due Date] < TODAY(), [@Status] <> "Completed"). Applies bold red text with yellow background. - High Priority Tags: Apply bright orange fill to cells where Priority Level is "High".
- Workload Thresholds: If workload exceeds 80% in Resource Allocation Matrix, apply a red border and warning text.
