Table Structures and Column Definitions

The central Maintenance Log (Main) sheet contains a relational table structure with the following columns:

All columns are designed with data types optimized for productivity analysis:

• Task ID: Text, unique identifier using a standard format (e.g., A-YYYY-MM).
• Description: Text, concise task summary.
• Scheduled Date / Actual Dates: Date type for time tracking.
• Status & Priority: Dropdown list to ensure consistency and enable filtering.
• Downtime Duration (hrs): Numeric, auto-calculated using formulas.
• Productivity Impact Score: Numeric (0–100), reflects efficiency improvement post-maintenance.

Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate key productivity metrics:

• =IF(Actual_End_Date - Actual_Start_Date > 0, (Actual_End_Date - Actual_Start_Date), 0): Calculates actual downtime in hours.
• =IF(Status="Completed", IF(Downtime_Duration<2, "High Impact", IF(Downtime_Duration<4, "Medium Impact", "Low Impact")), ""): Evaluates productivity impact based on downtime duration.
• =SUMIFS(Performance_Score!C:C, Performance_Score!E:E,"Completed") / COUNTIFS(Performance_Score!E:E,"Completed"): Aggregates average productivity score across completed tasks.
• =VLOOKUP(Task_ID, Task_Allocation!A:B, 2, FALSE): Links task to responsible team member using lookup function.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical data for productivity improvement:

• High Priority Tasks: Yellow background in the "Priority Level" column when value is "High".
• Delayed Statuses: Red fill if status is "Delayed" or actual date exceeds scheduled by more than 24 hours.
• Downtime Thresholds: Green for downtime < 2 hrs, Yellow for 2–4 hrs, Red for > 4 hrs in the downtime column.
• Productivity Impact Score: Color-coded based on score: Green (85+), Yellow (70–84), Red (<70).
• Status Completion Trends: Conditional formatting to show color progress bars across status transitions over time.
