Formulas and Automation

Key Formulas Required

Status Update Logic: =IF(ISBLANK([@Completion Date]), IF(TODAY()>[@Due Date], "Overdue", "In Progress"), "Completed") This formula dynamically updates the status based on current date and completion date.
Task Aging: =IF(AND([@Status]="Overdue", [@Due Date] Calculates how many days a task has been overdue.


        Completion Rate (KPI):
            =COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange)
            Provides overall monthly completion percentage.
        
        Overdue Tasks Counter:
            =COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Overdue")
            Counts how many tasks are past due.



    Conditional Formatting Rules

    
        Due Date Highlighting: Tasks with due dates within 3 days are highlighted in orange; overdue tasks turn red.
        Status-Based Color Coding: "Not Started" = Gray, "In Progress" = Yellow, "Completed" = Green, "Overdue" = Red.
        Progress Bars (Conditional Formatting - Data Bars): Applies visual progress bars to the Completion % column for a quick at-a-glance view.
