Formulas Required

Automated Week Ending: =EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1 + 6 - WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1, 3) (This ensures weekly end on Friday).
Status Count: =COUNTIF(WeeklyAssignments[Status], "Complete")
Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(WeeklyAssignments[Status], "Complete") / COUNTA(WeeklyAssignments[Status])
Overdue Detection: =IF(AND([Due Date] < TODAY(), [Status] <> "Complete"), "Overdue", "")
Dynamically Pulling Process Steps: Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP from Chore Master List to pull process steps into Weekly Assignments for clarity.
Average Time: =AVERAGEIF(WeeklyAssignments[Status], "Complete", WeeklyAssignments[Estimated Time])

Conditional Formatting

Status Column (Weekly Assignments): Red text for "Overdue", Yellow for "In Progress", Green for "Complete".
Due Date Column: Highlight in red if date is past today and status ≠ Complete.
Completion Rate Gauge: Color changes from red (<50%) to yellow (50–79%) to green (≥80%).
Task Load Bar Chart: Bars turn red if a person has more than 3 tasks in a week.
