Table Structures & Columns

1. Client Overview Sheet

2. Project List Sheet

3. Task Assignment Sheet

Data Types & Formulas Used

• All dates are stored as DATE data type; formulas use DATEVALUE() and TODAY() for dynamic tracking.
• Status columns utilize dropdowns (Data Validation) to restrict entries to predefined options (e.g., "Planned", "In Progress", "Completed").
• Auto-calculated fields include:
• Days Remaining: =EndDate - TODAY()
• Status Color Flag: IF(Due Date <= TODAY(), "Overdue", IF(Due Date > TODAY(), "On Track", "Completed"))
• Total Tasks by Status: SUMIFS(Status column, Status, "In Progress")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Cells with due date ≤ today → background color red.
• High Priority Tasks: Priority = "High" → yellow background, bold text.
• Status Progress Bars: Uses a data bar conditional format based on progress (e.g., 60% complete → 60% gray bar).
• Client Status Highlights: Active clients in green; inactive in gray with "Archived" label.
