Calendar View: A monthly calendar layout that displays task deadlines across the year for quick visual planning and scheduling coordination.

Formulas Required

Several dynamic formulas are embedded to automate tracking and calculation:

Status Progress Calculation (in Dashboard): =COUNTIF(To_Do_List[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(To_Do_List[Task ID]) — calculates overall completion percentage.
Late Task Counter: =COUNTIFS(To_Do_List[Due Date], "<"&TODAY(), To_Do_List[Status], "<>"&"Completed") — counts overdue tasks not yet finished.
On-Time Completion Rate: =COUNTIFS(To_Do_List[Due Date], ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1), To_Do_List[Due Date], "<="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,31), To_Do_List[Status], "Completed") / COUNTIFS(To_Do_List[Due Date], ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1), To_Do_List[Due Date], "<="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,31)) — measures annual on-time performance.
Monthly Task Breakdown (Calendar View): Uses SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and date functions to tally tasks by month.
Budget Variance: In the Dashboard: =SUM(To_Do_List[Actual Cost]) - SUM(To_Do_List[Budgeted Cost]) — tracks total cost deviation.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Dynamic visual cues improve readability:

Overdue Tasks: If Due Date is before today and Status ≠ "Completed", highlight cell in red using: =AND([@Due Date]"Completed").
Critical Priority: Apply bold red font for tasks with Priority = "Critical".
Status Color Coding: Use color scales: Green (Completed), Yellow (In Progress), Orange (On Hold), Gray (Not Started).
Budget Overrun: Highlight cells in red if Actual Cost > Budgeted Cost.
Milestone Tasks: Apply a gold border and bold text for flagged milestone tasks.
