Table Structures and Data Columns (Task List Sheet)

The primary operational sheet is the Task List. It is structured as a formal Excel table with named ranges for easy formula referencing:

Column Header	Data Type	Description / Example Value
Task ID (Auto)	Text/Number (Auto-generated)	E.g., TSK-2024-018. Automatically incremented using a formula.
Task Description	Text (up to 50 characters)	E.g., “Update office printer drivers”
Department	List (Dropdown from Settings sheet)	Options: HR, IT, Finance, Facilities, Admin
Assignee	List (Dropdown from Assignees Overview sheet)	E.g., Sarah Johnson, Michael Chen
Due Date	Date (MM/DD/YYYY format)	E.g., 04/15/2024
Priority Level	List (High, Medium, Low)	Used for filtering and visual cues.
Status	List (Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Overdue)	Determines color coding and dashboard metrics.
Completion Date	Date (Optional)	Auto-populates when Status is set to "Completed".
Notes / Updates	Text (up to 200 characters)	For task progress, issues, or clarifications.

Formulas Required

To ensure automation and dynamic updating across sheets, the following formulas are implemented:

Task ID Auto-increment (Column A): =TEXT(TODAY(), "YYMMDD") & "-" & TEXT(1 + COUNTA(A:A), "000") This creates unique IDs like TSK-240415-037.
Overdue Status Check (Column F): =IF(AND(Status="Not Started", DueDate


    Completion Date Auto-fill (Column G): 
        =IF(H2="Completed", TODAY(), "") — where H is Status column.
    Total Tasks (Dashboard Overview): 
        =COUNTA(TaskList[Task Description])
    Overdue Tasks (Dashboard): 
        =COUNTIF(TaskList[Status], "Overdue")
    Completion Rate (Dashboard): 
        =IF(COUNTA(TaskList[Task Description])=0, 0, COUNTIF(TaskList[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(TaskList[Task Description]))



Conditional Formatting Rules
Dynamic visual cues are applied to improve readability and highlight urgency:


    Due Date Coloring (Red/Yellow/Green): 
        - Red if due date is today or past due.
        - Yellow if due within 2 days.
        - Green otherwise.
    Status-Based Backgrounds: 
        - Completed: Light green
        - In Progress: Light blue
        - Overdue: Bright red
        - Not Started: White
    Priority Highlighting: High priority tasks are marked with bold red text.
    Data Bars (in Dashboard): Show relative task volumes for departments or assignees.
