Table Structures and Columns

1. Daily Task Log (Main Working Sheet)

This sheet aggregates data from the Daily Task Log to provide a real-time view of each client’s progress across key stages. It includes:

• Client Name and ID
• Last Interaction Date (from daily log)
• Status Badge (Color-coded: Green = Active, Yellow = Review Needed, Red = Delayed)
• Number of Tasks Completed This Week
• Open Action Items Count

Formulas Required

• Daily Task Log: Duration (mins): =IF(EndTime="", "", (EndTime-StartTime)*1440) → Converts time difference to minutes.
• Client Status Dashboard: Last Interaction Date: =MAXIFS(DailyTaskLog!$A:$A, DailyTaskLog!$B:$B, ClientID)
• Open Action Items Count: =COUNTIFS(DailyTaskLog!$H:$H, "In Progress", DailyTaskLog!$G:$G, ClientID)
• Status Badge Logic: Uses nested IF with VLOOKUP to determine color based on status and delay threshold.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Task Status Column (Daily Task Log): Color-code based on value:
  • Completed → Green fill
  • In Progress → Blue fill
  • On Hold / Blocked → Orange/red fill
