Formulas Required for Productivity Improvement

The template includes several dynamic formulas to support productivity tracking and reporting:

• Count of Overdue Tasks = COUNTIFS(Task!Status,"Overdue")
• Total Interaction Time per Client = SUMIFS(Interaction!Duration, Interaction!Client ID, [Client ID])
• Average Task Completion Time = AVERAGEIF(Task!Status, "Completed", Task!Due Date - Task!Completion Date)
• Productivity Score = (Total Tasks Completed / Total Tasks Assigned) × 100 (calculated per team member)
• Priority-Based Weighted Score = SUMPRODUCT(If Priority="High", 3, If Priority="Medium", 2, If Priority="Low", 1)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Conditional formatting enhances visibility and helps managers identify risks and performance gaps:

• Red Highlight for Overdue Tasks: If "Status" = "Overdue", cells turn red.
• Yellow Highlight for High Priority Clients: If "Priority Level" = "High", row turns yellow.
• Green Fill for Completed Tasks: When task status is “Completed” and progress is 100%.
• Inactive Account Warning: If "Account Status" = “Inactive”, background turns gray with bold text.
• Interaction Gap Alert: If "Last Contact Date" is more than 90 days ago, the row is highlighted in orange.
