Formulas Required

The template uses a variety of Excel formulas to automate reporting and analysis:

• =TODAY(): Auto-fills the current date in the daily log.
• =SUMIFS(…): Calculates total time spent per category (e.g., sum of "Time Spent" where Category = "Cleaning").
• =COUNTIF(Status, "✓"): Counts completed tasks per day or category.
• =IF(A2="✓", 1, 0): Converts status into a numerical value for aggregation.
• =VLOOKUP() in the Weekly Review sheet to pull daily data and summarize weekly totals.
• =SUMIFS(Budget!E:E, Budget!A:A, "2024-04"): Aggregates monthly spending for financial tracking.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance usability and visual clarity:

• Priority 5 tasks (high) are highlighted in red.
• Pending tasks (✗ status) appear in orange with a warning border.
• Completed tasks (✓) are shaded green.
• The "Dashboard Summary" shows a gradient background based on completion rate (>80% = green, 50–80% = yellow, <50% = red).
• Any task with “Time Spent” over 60 minutes is marked in bold.
