Key Formulas Used
- **Task ID Auto-generation:** `=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")` (in first row of Task Planner)
- **On-Time Completion Rate (KPI Sheet):** `=IFERROR((D2/E2)*100, 0)` where D is completed on time, E is total planned.
- **Resource Utilization:** `=F2/G2` where F is allocated hours, G is available hours.
- **Budget Variance:** `=H2-G2` (Actual minus Budgeted).
- **Conditional Status Color Code (Dashboard):** Uses `IF(STATUS="Completed", "Green", IF(STATUS="Delayed", "Red", "Yellow"))`.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red fill for any task with status = “Delayed”
- Green text for tasks completed on time
- Amber fill for resource utilization > 90%
- Data bars in KPIs to visually compare performance trends
