Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy

The template uses dynamic Excel formulas to maintain real-time updates:

• =TODAY(): Automatically fills current date in status fields.
• =IF(STATUS="Complete", "✅", "⏳"): Creates visual indicators for task completion.
• =SUMIFS(Budget!C:C, Budget!B:B, "Utilities"): Calculates monthly utility spending.
• =NETWORKDAYS(A2, B2): Computes number of workdays between due date and today.
• =VLOOKUP(TaskID, Tasks!A:E, 4, FALSE): Cross-references task type from a lookup table.
• =COUNTIFS(Status:Status,"Pending"): Counts overdue or pending tasks in real-time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Conditional formatting is strategically applied to improve data readability:

• Pending Tasks: Cells with "Pending" status in the Task log turn yellow with a red border.
• Due Soon (Next 3 Days): Tasks due within 3 days are highlighted in orange.
• Over Budget: Any expense exceeding the monthly limit is marked red in the budget sheet.
• Daily Goal Completion: In Progress rows with "Complete" status turn green and flash upon update.
• Dates Out of Range: If a due date is in the past, text turns dark gray with an alert icon.
