Formulas Required
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate key processes:- Automated Task ID: =TEXT(COUNTA(A$2:A2)+1,"T-000") — ensures sequential numbering.
- Overdue Status Detection: =IF(AND([@Status]="In Progress", [@Due Date]
- Days Until Due: =IF([@Due Date]<> "", [@Due Date]-TODAY(), "")
- Completion Percentage: =IF(AND([@Status]="Completed", [@Completion Date]<>"", [@Start Date]<>""), 100%, IF([@Status]="In Progress", (TODAY()-[@Start Date])/[@Estimated Hours]*24*100, 0))
- Formula for Total Tasks by Status: Used in Dashboard: =COUNTIF(Status, "Completed")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual tracking and promote accountability:- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text (applies when Due Date < TODAY() AND Status ≠ Completed).
- Critical Priority: Bright red background, bold text.
- High Priority: Orange background.
- Status Column: Color-coded cells: Red = Overdue, Yellow = In Progress, Green = Completed.
- Dates: Gradient scale for Due Dates — darker shades as the date approaches today.
