Table Structures and Column Definitions

The core table in the "Balance Sheet Dashboard" sheet is structured to mirror a traditional balance sheet but with productivity-focused data fields:

The "Task & Resource Tracking" sheet includes the following columns:

• Task ID: Unique identifier for each task (e.g., T-2024-Q3-01)
• Task Name: Descriptive title of the task
• Assigned To: Team member or role responsible (dropdown list)
• Start Date & End Date: Dates when the task was initiated and completed (date/time data types)
• Hours Spent: Number of hours logged in time tracking system (numeric, auto-calculated)
• Value Delivered ($): Monetized outcome or business impact of the task
• Productivity Ratio (hrs/$): Effort per dollar generated

Formulas Required

• =SUMIFS(Effort!Hours Spent, Effort!Assigned To, A2) – Calculates total effort by team member.
• =IF([Value Delivered]>0, [Value Delivered]/[Hours Spent], 100) – Computes productivity ratio (efficiency).
• =VLOOKUP(A2, TeamContributions!TaskID, 3, FALSE) – Links task performance to team contribution scores.
• =COUNTIF(Statuses!Status, "On Track") / COUNTA(Statuses!Status) – Calculates on-time task completion rate.
• =SUMIFS(Balance Sheet!Value, Balance Sheet!Category, "Current Assets") – Total assets calculation.

Conditional Formatting

• Effort (Hours): Highlight in red if over 100 hours per week; green if under 50 hours.
• Productivity Score (%): Green for >90%, Yellow for 75–89%, Red for <75%.
• Status: Apply color-coded background: Green ("On Track"), Orange ("Pending"), Red ("Delayed").
• Value Delivered: Highlight positive values in green, negative in red (indicating cost vs. benefit).
