Sheets Overview:

The template is structured across four primary sheets, each serving a distinct function in the weekly management cycle:

Table Structures and Columns (Tasks Sheet)

The main Tasks sheet contains a structured table named "tblWeeklyTasks". The following columns are included with specified data types:

Formulas Required:

The following formulas are implemented to automate tracking and reduce manual effort:

• Auto-Task ID Generation: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy")&"-WK"&TEXT(WEEKNUM(TODAY()),"00")&"-01" (can be adjusted per week).
• Status Update Logic: Conditional formula to auto-update status based on due date and completion date.
• Overdue Detection: =IF(AND(DueDate"Completed"), "Yes", "No").
• Count of Tasks by Status: Used in the Weekly Summary sheet (e.g., =COUNTIF(tblWeeklyTasks[Status], "Completed")).
• Prioritized Task List: Use FILTER function to list only "High" or "Critical" priority tasks for managers.

Conditional Formatting Rules:

To enhance visual clarity and immediate status recognition, the following rules are applied:

• Due Date Coloring: Red text if due date is today or earlier and status is not completed.
• Status-Based Highlighting:
  • "Completed" → Green background
  • "Overdue" → Dark red background with white text
  • "High Priority" → Yellow highlight with bold font
• Empty Task Rows: Light gray row shading to distinguish incomplete entries.
• Task Category Coloring: Color-coded by category (e.g., Facilities = Blue, IT Support = Orange).

User Instructions:

1. Create a New Week: Copy the entire "Tasks" sheet and rename it to "Week 1", "Week 2", etc., for each new week.
2. Update Task List: Add new office management tasks based on your weekly operational plan. Ensure all columns are populated.
