Data Types & Formulas

All data fields are standardized to ensure consistency and usability:

• Date: Text/Date format for filtering and sorting.
• Task / Event: Text field with up to 100 characters.
• Category: Dropdown list (predefined options: Work, Family, Health, Study, Leisure).
• Start/End Time: Time format (HH:MM AM/PM or 24-hour). Auto-calculated duration via formula.
• Daily Priority: Numeric input from 1 to 5 (1 = low, 5 = high).
• Status: Dropdown with options: Planned, Completed, Overdue.
• Notes: Free-text field for additional context.

Key formulas used:

• =IF(End_Time - Start_Time > 0.5, "Long Event", "Short Event") – Flags events longer than 30 minutes.
• =SUMIFS(Priority_Column, Status, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status) * 100 – Calculates completion rate per day.
• =NETWORKDAYS(A2, B2) – Counts working days between two dates.
• =IF(Start_Time > NOW(), "Overdue", IF(Start_Time <= NOW(), "On Time")) – Checks for overdue tasks (updated daily).
• =SUMPRODUCT((Status="Planned") * (Priority >= 4)) – Counts high-priority planned tasks.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent formatting to enhance usability:

• Red background for Overdue Tasks: Applies when the end time is less than current time.
• Yellow highlight for Priority 5 tasks: High-priority items stand out visually.
• Green fill if Status = "Completed": Visual confirmation of task completion.
• Gradient color by Category: Each category uses a distinct shade (e.g., blue for work, green for health).
• Time-based alerts in cells: If start time is before 9:00 AM or after 6:00 PM, the row turns light orange.
