Table Structure & Column Definitions (Study Tasks Sheet)
The primary table is located on the Study Tasks sheet and contains the following columns:
| Column Header | Data Type/Format | Description & Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ID Number | Text (Auto-generated) | A unique alphanumeric ID (e.g., ST-001) assigned to each task for easy reference. |
| Task Name | Text (up to 150 characters) | Description of the study task (e.g., "Read Chapter 6: Advanced Statistics"). |
| Subject Area | Dropdown List (Custom) | Category for filtering tasks—e.g., Biology, Mathematics, Literature. Users can customize the list. |
| Priority Level | Dropdown: High / Medium / Low | Determines urgency; used in sorting and dashboard filtering. |
| Due Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Deadline for completing the task. Triggers conditional formatting alerts. |
| Status | Dropdown: Not Started / In Progress / Completed / Delayed | Tracks current stage of each task. Used in progress calculations. |
| Estimated Time (hrs) | Numeric (0-100) | Expected duration to complete the task. Enables time budgeting. |
| Actual Time Spent (hrs) | Numeric (editable) | Time logged upon task completion. Used in productivity analysis. |
| Order Tracker ID | Text (linked to resources) | Reference to external orders (e.g., textbook purchases, course enrollments) tracked across the template. |

Formulas Required for Automation
- Status Color Logic:
`=IF(DueDate <= TODAY(), IF(Status="Completed", "On Time", "Overdue"), IF(Status="Completed", "Early Finish", ""))`
Used in conditional formatting to flag overdue or early tasks. - Progress Percentage:
`=ROUND(COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange) * 100, 1)`
Calculated dynamically on the Dashboard to show overall completion rate. - Days Until Due:
`=IF(DueDate="", "", DATEDIF(TODAY(), DueDate, "d"))`
Shows remaining days or "Overdue" status. - Auto-ID Generation (ID Number):
`="ST-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000")`
Automatically increments task ID as new rows are added.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text for tasks with Due Date before today and Status ≠ "Completed".
- Pending High Priority Tasks: Amber highlight if due within 3 days and Priority = "High".
- Completed Tasks: Green fill with checkmark emoji (✅) for visual confirmation.
- Time Overrun Alerts: Orange font if Actual Time Spent > Estimated Time by 15% or more.
