Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas across sheets:

Completion Rate: In Weekly Overview, cell C3: =IF(D3=0, 0, E3/D3)
Total Hours Worked: Uses SUMPRODUCT with time conversion: =SUMPRODUCT((DailyTaskLog!$A$2:$A$100=WeeklyOverview!A2)*TIMEVALUE(DailyTaskLog!$F$2:$F$100))
KPI Score: Weighted average combining completion rate (40%), on-time delivery (35%), and task quality (25%):
= 0.4*CompletionRate + 0.35*OnTimeDeliveryRate + 0.25*(1-IF(QualityScore=0, 1, QualityScore/10))
Project Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting based on deadline proximity using: =AND(DATE(YEAR(Deadline), MONTH(Deadline), DAY(Deadline)) <= TODAY() + 7, DATE(YEAR(Deadline), MONTH(Deadline), DAY(Deadline)) > TODAY())

Conditional Formatting

This template applies smart visual cues to enhance readability:

Task Status: Red for "Delayed", Yellow for "In Progress", Green for "Completed"
KPI Score: Traffic light system: Green (8-10), Yellow (5-7), Red (<5)
Deadline Proximity: Highlight project rows in orange if deadline is within 3 days, red if overdue
Daily Task Duration: Use data bars to show time spent vs. estimated effort for visual comparison
