Sheet Names

• 1. Schedule Overview (Main Calendar)
• 2. Resource Allocation Tracker
• 3. Task & Meeting Log
• 4. Performance Analytics Dashboard

Table Structures and Columns (with Data Types)

1. Schedule Overview (Main Calendar) – Table: tblScheduleOverview

2. Resource Allocation Tracker – Table: tblResourceTracker

3. Task & Meeting Log – Table: tblTaskLog

Formulas Required

• Duration Calculation (in Schedule Overview):
  =TEXT(TIMEVALUE(RIGHT([@Time Slot], 5)) - TIMEVALUE(LEFT([@Time Slot], 5)), "hh:mm")
  This converts time ranges into duration in HH:MM format.
• Status Color Indicator:
  Use =IF([@Status]="Delayed", "Red", IF([@Status]="Completed", "Green", "Yellow"))
• Next Maintenance Date (in Resource Tracker):
  =EDATE([@Last Maintenance Date], 6) → for every 6 months.
• Overdue Task Counter:
  =COUNTIFS(tblTaskLog[Due Date], "<"&TODAY(), tblTaskLog[Status], "<>Completed")
• Resource Utilization Rate (Dashboard):
  =SUMIF(tblResourceTracker[Status], "In Use", tblResourceTracker[Status]) / COUNTA(tblResourceTracker[Status]) * 100%

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Apply red fill with white text to any row in Task & Meeting Log where Due Date is before today and Status ≠ Completed.
• Daily Schedule Conflicts: Highlight duplicate time slots or overlapping events using a formula-based rule: =COUNTIFS(tblScheduleOverview[Time Slot], [@Time Slot], tblScheduleOverview[Date], [@Date]) > 1
• Maintenance Due Soon: Apply yellow highlight to rows in Resource Tracker where Next Maintenance Date is within 7 days.
• Status Indicators: Use color scales for Status column: Green (Completed), Yellow (Pending), Red (Delayed).
