FIELDS & FORMULAS REQUIRED
The template leverages several key formulas to automate tracking and enhance usability:
- Auto-generated Task ID (Column A):
=IF(A2="", "HOM-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000"), A2)— Ensures unique, sequential identifiers. - Status Indicator (Color-coded): Uses conditional formatting based on Status column values to visually highlight task status.
- Days Remaining Calculation (Column F):
=IF(E2="Completed","",IF(D2 - Task Completion Rate (Dashboard): Formula in cell B3:
=ROUND(COUNTIFS(tblTasks[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(tblTasks[Task Description]), 2)*100 & "%" - Overdue Tasks Count (Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS(tblTasks[Status], "<>Completed", tblTasks[Due Date], "<"&TODAY()) - Pending Tasks by Category (Dashboard): Uses a Pivot Table or SUMIFS formula to aggregate tasks per category.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
Dynamic visual feedback is enabled through conditional formatting:
- Status Column: Green fill for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Overdue", and gray for "Not Started".
- Due Date Column: Highlight cells in red if due date is today or past today.
- Priorities: Apply gradient fill based on priority—red (High), yellow (Medium), light green (Low).
- Ribbon Striping in Table: Alternate row colors for improved readability.
