Table Structures and Columns (Task List Sheet)
The primary data input sheet, Task List, uses an Excel Table (Ctrl+T) structure named tblTasks. This ensures dynamic range expansion and compatibility with formulas and filtering.
| Column Name | Data Type/Format | Description & Example |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier: e.g., "OFF-2024-T001". Auto-populated via formula =CONCAT("OFF-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-T", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")) |
| Task Title | Text (Max 150 characters) | Description of the task: e.g., "Schedule Monthly Staff Meeting" |
| Department | List (Dropdown: HR, IT, Facilities, Finance, Admin) | Select from predefined department list to ensure consistency. |
| Assignee | List (Dropdown: All staff members) | Employee name assigned to the task. Auto-populated from master team list. |
| Prioritization | List (High, Medium, Low) | Indicates urgency: High priority tasks flagged for immediate attention. |
| Start Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY format) | Date task begins: e.g., 07/01/2024 |
| Due Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY format) | Deadline for completion. |
| Status | List (Not Started, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Overdue) | Real-time status update. Automatically updated based on dates and user input. |
| Progress (%) | Numerical (0–100%) | Percentage of task completion (e.g., 75% complete). |
| Category | List (Facility Maintenance, Staff Coordination, Budgeting, IT Support, Event Planning) | Categorizes the type of office management task for filtering and reporting. |
Formulas Required
- Status Auto-updating:
=IF(AND([@Status]="Not Started", TODAY() > [@Due Date]), "Overdue", IF([@Status]="Completed", "Completed", IF(TODAY() <= [@Start Date], "Not Started", IF(TODAY() <= [@Due Date], "In Progress", "Overdue")))) - Days Until Due:
=IF([@Status]="Completed", 0, MAX(0, [@Due Date] - TODAY())) - Overdue Flag (for CF):
=AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@[Due Date]] - Count of Tasks by Status (in Summary Sheet):
=COUNTIFS(tblTasks[Status], "Overdue")
Conditional Formatting Rules (Applied to Task List)
- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text. Triggered by formula:
=AND([@Status]<>"Completed", [@Due Date] < TODAY()) - High Priority + Overdue: Bright red background with bold text for maximum visual alert.
- Progress Bar (in Status Column): Data bar applied to the "Progress (%)" column using conditional formatting → Data Bars (Green).
- Past Start Date: Yellow highlight for tasks that have passed their start date but are not yet completed.

- Update Status: Change the "Status" field manually or use a simple form button (if enabled) to update via drop-down.
