Table Structures & Column Definitions
1. Task & Workflow Log (Sheet: Task & Workflow Log)
This sheet serves as the operational backbone, capturing every task assigned to individuals or teams.
| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID (Auto-generated) | Text/Number (Formula-based) | Unique ID like "T001", "T002" – auto-incremented. |

| Completion Date | Date (Optional) | Date the task was finished; auto-filled if Status = Completed. |
| Duration (Days) | Number (Formula) | Calculated as: Completion Date - Start Date. Blank if not completed. |
2. Performance Metrics (Sheet: Performance Metrics)
This sheet aggregates data from the Task & Workflow Log to generate performance trends over time.
| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date Range (Monthly) | Date (Month-YYYY) | |
| Total Tasks Created | Number | Total number of new tasks entered that month. |
| Tasks Completed | Number | Tasks with status = Completed during the period. |

| Delayed Tasks (%) | Percentage (Formula) | = # of tasks with Due Date < Completion Date / Total Tasks Completed × 100. |
Formulas Required
The template relies on dynamic formulas for automation and accuracy:
- Task ID Auto-increment: =TEXT(COUNTA(TaskLog[Task Title])+1,"T000") in the first row of Task ID.
- Completion Date Auto-fill: =IF(Status="Completed", TODAY(), "") – updates when status is changed to “Completed”.
- Duration (Days): =IF(CompletionDate<>"", CompletionDate - StartDate, "").
- Completion Rate (%): =SUMIF(StatusColumn,"Completed") / COUNTA(TaskTitleColumn) in the Performance Metrics sheet.
- Average Turnaround Time: =AVERAGEIFS(DurationColumn, StatusColumn,"Completed")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and highlight critical issues, the following rules are applied:
- Overdue Tasks: If Due Date < Today AND Status ≠ Completed → Highlight in red.
- Pending High Priority Tasks: If Priority = "High" AND Status ≠ "Completed" → Yellow background.
- Completion Rate Trends: Conditional formatting on the % values: Green for >90%, Orange 70–89%, Red <70%.
- Delayed Tasks: Highlight any row in Performance Metrics where Delayed Tasks (%) is above 15%.
