Sheet Names & Structure

• To-Do List (Main Dashboard): Centralized workspace displaying all tasks with status tracking, priority levels, and due dates.
• Task Categories: A reference sheet listing predefined office management categories (e.g., Maintenance, HR Coordination, Supplies Replenishment).
• Assignees & Roles: Contains team members' names and their respective roles within the office structure.
• Analytics & Dashboard: Visual summary of task completion rates, overdue items, priority distribution, and workload balance.

Table Structure in "To-Do List" Sheet

The main "To-Do List" sheet uses a structured Excel table with the following columns and data types:

Formulas Required

• =TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyy-mm-dd"): Automatically populates the "Created Date" field when a new task is added.
• =IF(AND([@[Due Date]]"Completed"), "Overdue", ""): Flags overdue tasks in a separate column.
• =ROW()-1 (for Task ID): Generates a unique sequential number based on row position, ensuring no duplicates.
• =COUNTIF(Status, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status): Calculated in the dashboard for overall task completion rate.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Enhances visual clarity and improves decision-making through dynamic cell coloring:

• Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text, applied to rows where due date is past and status ≠ Completed.
• Priorities: Color-coded bars: High = red, Medium = yellow, Low = green.
• Status Column: Green for "Completed", blue for "In Progress", gray for "Not Started", orange for "Overdue".
• Due in 3 Days: Light yellow background applied if due date is within the next three days.
