Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas to enhance functionality:

• Task Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(Status,"Completed") / COUNTA(Status) * 100 in the Weekly Overview sheet.
• Weekly Total Time Spent: =SUMIFS(Time Estimate, Status, "In Progress") + SUMIFS(Time Estimate, Status, "Completed")
• Progress Percentage (Goals): =IF(Progress > 0, Progress & "%", "N/A") – updated with user input.
• Weekly Expense Summary: =SUMIFS(Amount, Type, "Expense") in the Finance Tracker sheet.
• Automatic Due Date Calculation: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(Due Date)) – if due date is entered manually.
• Auto-Date Entry: In the Reflection & Notes sheet, "Week Start" and "Week End" are auto-calculated using: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1) and =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 7).

Conditional Formatting

To improve visual clarity, the template applies conditional formatting to highlight key data points:

• High Priority Tasks: Green background if priority = "High" in Task Planner.
• Late Tasks: Red background if Due Date is less than 24 hours from today and Status = "Not Started".
• Progress Thresholds: Gradient fill in the Goals sheet (green for >80%, yellow for 50–80%, red below 50%).
• Mood Scores: Color-coded from blue (1–3) to red (9–10).
• Over Budget Alerts: Red border in Finance Tracker when weekly expenses exceed a user-defined threshold.
