Table Structures and Data Organization

All sheets utilize structured tables (Excel Tables) with defined column headers and data validation to ensure accuracy. The primary table is located in the "Time Logs" sheet, serving as the central repository for all time entries.

Time Logs (Daily Tracker) – Table Structure

This table includes 10 columns with specific data types and constraints:

Date (Date): Entry date. Formatted as "DD/MM/YYYY" with data validation to prevent future dates.
Team Member (Text): Name of the person logging time. Data validation dropdown with pre-loaded team member names.
Project/Task (Text): Name of the project or task being worked on. Dropdown list includes all active projects.
Time Start (Time): Time when work began (e.g., 09:00). Formatted as time with validation to ensure valid time entry.
Time End (Time): Time when work ended. Validation ensures end time is after start time.
Duration (Hours): Automatically calculated using formula: =IF(End. Format as decimal hours (e.g., 3.5).


        Category (Text): Work type category: "Development", "Support", "Planning", "Meeting", "Admin", etc.
        Status (Text): Status of task: "In Progress", "Completed", or "On Hold". Dropdown selection.
        Description (Text): Optional free-text field for notes or details about the work performed.
        Week Number (Number): Automatically generated from Date using formula: =WEEKNUM(A2,2).



    Additional Tables
    The "Project Summary" and "Employee Performance Report" sheets contain summary tables derived from the Time Logs table using structured references and formulas.

    Formulas Required
    
        Duration Calculation: 
            =IF([@Time End] > [@Time Start], ([@Time End] - [@Time Start]), 1 + ([@Time End] - [@Time Start])) * 24
            (Converts time difference into decimal hours)
        Weekly Total Hours by Employee: 
            =SUMIFS([Duration], [Team Member], "John Doe", [Week Number], 15)
        Project Time Allocation Summary:
            =SUMIFS([Duration], [Project/Task], "Website Redesign")
        Count of Tasks by Status:
            =COUNTIF([Status], "Completed")
        Percentage of Time per Project: 
            =[Duration]/SUM([Duration]) * 100
    

    Conditional Formatting Rules
    
        Data Validation Alerts: Highlight cells with invalid entries (e.g., future dates, negative durations) in red.
        Daily Hour Thresholds: Use color scales to highlight days exceeding 8 hours of logged work (yellow/orange/red).
        Status Indicators: Color-code rows based on task status: green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", gray for "On Hold".
        Team Performance Heatmap: Apply data bars to hours worked per employee in the Team Overview dashboard.
