Formulas Required
- Status Color Logic (Conditional Formatting):
Use IF statements or nested IFS to set color indicators. Example:=IF(Status="Completed", "Green", IF(Status="In Progress", "Yellow", "Red")) - Overdue Task Detection:
Formula in a new column:=IF(AND(Due_Date < TODAY(), Status<>"Completed"), "Overdue", "") - Milestone Completion Tracking (Dashboard):
Use COUNTIF or SUMIFS to tally completed milestones per employee. - Progress Percentage:
In Dashboard:=COUNTIF(Task_Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Task_Status_Column) * 100
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Highlight overdue tasks in red (if due date is earlier than today and status is not completed).
- Color-code priority levels: Red for "Urgent", Orange for "High", Yellow for "Medium", Green for "Low".
- Use green fill when Status = “Completed”.
- Apply data bars to the Time Estimate column to visualize effort distribution.
