Formulas Required
The following formulas are essential for automation and accuracy:
- Chore ID Auto-generation (A2 in Chore List):
=TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")— Generates CH-001, CH-002, etc. - Status Color Coding (Daily Tracker C:C):
Use conditional formatting with formula:
=C2="Completed"→ Green
=C2="Overdue"→ Red
=C2="Pending"→ Yellow - Completion Rate (Dashboard A1):
=COUNTIF(DailyTracker!C:C,"Completed") / COUNTA(DailyTracker!C:C)— Returns percentage. - Overdue Count (Dashboard A3):
=COUNTIFS(DailyTracker!A:A, "<"&TODAY(), DailyTracker!C:C, "Overdue") - Due Date Logic (Daily Tracker A:A):
Use formula to auto-populate date using:
=TODAY()or pull from a date series in the header row. - Task Frequency Validation:
Use data validation in the "Frequency" column with predefined values: Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Highlight overdue tasks (status = Overdue) in red with bold font.
- Color-code priority levels:
- High Priority: Red fill
- Medium Priority: Yellow fill
- Low Priority: Light green fill
- Status column: Use color indicators as above to visually track progress.
- In Dashboard, apply color gradients to charts for emphasis on performance trends.
