Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality
- Auto-Generate Task ID:
=TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") → "TSK-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") - Auto-Fill Created Date:
=TODAY()(in the Created Date column). - Auto-Update Last Updated:
=IF(OR(Status<>"", Assignee<>"", Description<>""), NOW(), "") - Auto-Fill Completion Date:
=IF(Status="Completed", TODAY(), "") - Overdue Status Check:
=IF(AND(Due_Date - Days Until Due:
=IF(Due_Date="", "", DATEDIF(TODAY(), Due_Date, "d")) - Task Progress Tracker (on Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS(Status,"Completed") / COUNTA(Task_ID)→ displays % complete.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with black text for Due Date < TODAY() and Status ≠ Completed.
- Prioritized Tasks: High priority = red highlight; Medium = yellow; Low = green.
- Status Indicators: Color-coded cells based on status (e.g., red for Blocked, blue for In Progress).
