TASK TABLE STRUCTURE AND COLUMNS

The main To-Do List (Main Dashboard) sheet contains a structured table with the following columns and data types:

Column Name	Data Type	Description & Requirements
Task ID (Auto)	Text / Number (Auto-generated)	A unique 6-digit identifier assigned automatically when a new task is added. Uses a formula: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"00")
Task Description	Text (Maximum 255 characters)	Clear and concise description of the task (e.g., “Order office supplies for Q3”).
Department	List (Drop-down)	Predefined list: HR, Finance, IT, Admin, Facilities. Ensures consistent categorization.
Priority Level	List (Drop-down)	Options: High, Medium, Low. Used for filtering and ranking tasks.
Due Date	Date (YYYY-MM-DD)	Target completion date with validation to prevent past dates unless marked as overdue.
Status	List (Drop-down)	Options: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Overdue. Real-time status tracking.
Assigned To	Text / List (Optional)	Name of the staff member responsible (e.g., “Jane Doe” or a drop-down list of employees).
Completion Date	Date (Automated)	Auto-filled when Status changes to "Completed" using a formula.
Days to Complete	Numeric (Formula-based)	Calculated as: =IF(D2="", "", IF(E2="", TODAY()-D2, E2-D2)) — shows time between due date and completion.
Comments	Text (Optional)	Free text field for notes or updates about the task.

FIELDS WITH FORMULAS

The template uses several formulas to automate tracking and analysis:

Completion Date Auto-fill: =IF(Status="Completed", TODAY(), "") placed in the Completion Date column.
Task Age (Days Overdue): =IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", DueDate


    Status Color Indicator: Uses conditional logic to display “Overdue” or “On Track” status in the Status column.
    Task Count by Priority: In Task Analytics sheet, uses COUNTIFS to tally tasks per priority level.
    Daily Completion Rate:
        =COUNTIFS(Status, "Completed", CompletionDate, ">="&TODAY()-7)



CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

Enhanced visual cues are applied using conditional formatting:


    Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text for any task where Due Date < TODAY() AND Status ≠ "Completed".
    High Priority Tasks: Orange background for tasks with "High" priority and not completed.
    Status Progression: Green fill for “Completed”, yellow for “In Progress”, red for “Overdue”.
    Daily Summary Trends: Data bars in the Daily Summary Report to visualize task volume over time.
