Formulas Required

Auto-Generated Task ID: =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A),"CH-000")
Pull from Master List (in Tracker): =VLOOKUP(A2, 'Task Master List'!$A:$K, 2, FALSE)
Automated Scheduled Date: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1)+7*INT((WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1),2)-1)/7)
Status Color Logic: Conditional formatting using formulas to check if date is past and status ≠ "Completed".
Overdue Detection: =IF(AND(ScheduledDate


    Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(StatusColumn,"Completed")/COUNTA(StatusColumn)



Conditional Formatting Rules

    Dashboards: Color scales on heatmaps and bar charts using data bars to indicate task load or completion rate.
