Formulas Required

The template leverages several built-in Excel formulas to automate data processing:

• =TEXT(A2, "dd-mmm-yyyy"): Formats dates for readability.
• =IF(C2 > D2, "Late", "On Time"): Flags tasks that finish after planned end time.
• =SUMIFS(Performance!B:B, Performance!A:A, ">="&DATE(2024,4,1), Performance!A:A, "<="&DATE(2024,4,7)): Calculates total task hours per week.
• =AVERAGEIF(D:D,">6",E:E): Computes average performance score for tasks rated above 6.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and user engagement, the following formatting is applied:

• Green background: For tasks completed on time (Status = ✓ and Duration within range).
• Yellow highlight: Tasks that are late or have low effort ratings.
• Red shading: Any goal with status "Pending" beyond 30 days from target date.
• Color gradient in Performance Tracker: Higher scores (9–10) appear bright blue; lower scores (1–4) are gray or red.
• Dynamic dashboards: The Home Dashboard uses conditional formatting to show trend growth with increasing green bars over time.
