Team Member Profile: Contains personal details such as name, contact, dietary info, and availability for meal preparation.
Weekly Schedule & Assignments: Tracks who is responsible for preparing which meals each week.
Shopping List Generator: Automatically builds a consolidated shopping list from meal plans.
Performance & Usage Dashboard: Visual summary of meal planning trends, participation rates, and weekly utilization.

Formulas Required for Automation & Accuracy

The following formulas ensure dynamic updates and reduce manual errors:

SUMIFS() / COUNTIFS()**: To calculate total meals per day or number of people with specific dietary tags.

IF()**: To display "Confirmed" if a meal is assigned and has no status flag; otherwise, “Pending”.

CONCATENATE() or & operator**: For combining names with meal types to generate readable labels (e.g., "Jane - Vegan Breakfast").

INDIRECT()**: Used in the shopping list generator to pull specific meals based on day and meal type.

VLOOKUP()**: Links dietary preferences to meals, ensuring allergens are flagged automatically.

TEXTJOIN()**: Combines multiple dietary tags into a single cell with commas (e.g., “Vegan, Gluten-Free”).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve readability and highlight key data points:

Dietary Tags in Red** when allergens are present (e.g., Peanuts, Eggs).

Green background** for "Confirmed" meals; Yellow for "Pending"; Gray for Canceled.

Highlight cells with empty values** in the “Prepared By” column to identify unassigned meals.

Color scale on meal count per day** to visualize peak meal preparation days.

User Instructions
