• Data Rows (Rows 2–30): Each row represents a distinct chore or task.

Columns and Data Types

The template includes the following six columns, each serving a specific operational function:

2. Assigned To (Column B)

   Description: The individual or team responsible. Supports names, roles (e.g., “Team A”), or even email tags.
3. Frequency (Column C)
   Data Type: Text with dropdown list
   Options: Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly
   Description: Defines how often the chore repeats. Used in conditional formatting and auto-tracking.
4. Last Completed (Column D)
   Data Type: Date

5. Status (Column E)
   Data Type: Text with dropdown list

Formulas Required

To maintain automation and reduce manual work, the template includes several powerful formulas:

• Next Due (Column F):
  =IF(D2="", "", IF(C2="Daily", D2+1, IF(C2="Weekly", D2+7, IF(C2="Bi-Weekly", D2+14, IF(C2="Monthly", DATE(YEAR(D2), MONTH(D2)+1, DAY(D2)), ""))))))
  This formula calculates the next due date based on frequency and last completed date.
• Status (Column E):
  While manually selected via dropdown, it triggers conditional formatting rules that visually flag overdue tasks.
• Overdue Indicator (Optional Highlighting Column G):
  =IF(AND(E2="Completed", F2<=TODAY()), "On Time", IF(F2
Adds an extra layer of status insight and is used for dashboard filters.
