Table Structures and Data Types

1. Weekly Schedule (Main Sheet)

This sheet uses a grid-based weekly calendar with each day (Monday–Sunday) as a column and time blocks as rows. Key columns include:

• Date: Date type (e.g., 2024-07-15) – Automatically populated using Excel’s date function.
• Time Block: Text/Time format (e.g., 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM).
• Activity Type: List (Dropdown) – Options include "Client Session", "Study Block", "Admin Work", "Meeting", "Break" or Custom.
• Client Name: Text, with dropdown linked to Client Tracker sheet.
• Description: Text (up to 250 characters).
• Status: Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Canceled.
• Priority Level: Dropdown: Low, Medium, High.
• Notes (Optional): Text area for brief comments.

2. Client Tracker (Database Sheet)

This master database stores all client information and progress history.

• Client ID: Auto-generated number (e.g., CLT-001).
• Full Name: Text.
• Email / Phone: Contact information.
• Subject / Focus Area: List (e.g., Math, SAT Prep, Writing Skills).
• Current Goal(s): Description of short-term objectives.
• Last Session Date: Date type.
• Next Session Date: Date field, auto-updates via formula.
• Progress Level (1–10): Numeric, 1–10 scale.
• Status: Dropdown: Active, On Break, Completed, Inactive.

Formulas Required

• Date Auto-Population (Weekly Schedule): Use =TODAY() to set current date and =TODAY()+7 for next week’s starting day.
• Client ID Generation (Client Tracker): Use =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"CLT-000") for automatic numbering.
• Next Session Reminder: In Weekly Schedule, use =IF(AND(ISBLANK(Client Name), ISBLANK(Status)), "", IF(TODAY()=Next Session Date, "Reminder: Today!", ""))
• Progress Average (Dashboard): =AVERAGE('Client Tracker'!K:K) to calculate average client progress.
• Count of Active Clients: =COUNTIF('Client Tracker'!J:J,"Active")
• Status Color Logic: Use nested IF and OR functions with conditional formatting to flag overdue sessions.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Sessions: If a client session’s date is before today and status ≠ "Completed", highlight row in red.
• High Priority Tasks: Highlight any task with “Priority Level” = High in yellow.
• Status Indicators: Use green checkmarks for completed tasks, red X for canceled, blue clock for upcoming.
• Progress Levels: Color scale from red (1–3) to green (8–10) based on the Progress Level column in Client Tracker.
