Formulas Required
The template incorporates several essential formulas to automate data tracking:
- Next Due Date (Chore List):
=IF(Frequency="Daily", TODAY()+1, IF(Frequency="Weekly", TODAY()+7, IF(Frequency="Bi-weekly", TODAY()+14, IF(Frequency="Monthly", DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())+1, DAY(TODAY())), ""))))
- Overdue Check (Chore List):
=IF(AND(Due_Date_Next"Completed"), "Overdue", "")
- Completion Rate (Dashboard):
=IF(Total_Chores=0, 0, Completed_Today/Total_Chores)
Format as percentage.
- Assignee Count (Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS(Daily_Tracker[Assigned To], "John", Daily_Tracker[Completed?], "Yes") – Repeat for each assignee.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and support the Operations Dashboard, the template uses conditional formatting:
- Overdue Tasks (Chore List): Cells with "Overdue" in Status column highlight in red background.
- Priorities: High priority tasks display with a red border; Medium with yellow; Low with green.
- Completion Rate (Dashboard): Color scale applied to the percentage cell—green for >85%, yellow for 60-84%, red for below 60%.
- Daily Tracker: Rows where "Completed?" is "Yes" are shaded in light green.
