Table Structures and Data Types

Task List (Core Table)

This is the primary working table, where users input all academic tasks. The structure includes: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-----------| | Task ID | Text/Number (auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each task (e.g., S1-001) | | Subject/Course | Text | The course or subject the task belongs to (e.g., Biology 101) | | Task Type | Dropdown (Assignment, Reading, Exam Prep, Project, Quiz) | Categorizes the nature of the work | | Task Description | Text (longer entries supported) | Detailed description of what needs to be done | | Due Date | Date Format (e.g., mm/dd/yyyy) | When the task is due | | Priority Level | Dropdown (Low, Medium, High, Critical) | Helps in task triage and focus management | | Estimated Time (hrs) | Number (decimal values allowed) | Approximate time needed to complete the task | | Status | Dropdown (Not Started, In Progress, Completed) | Real-time tracking of progress | | Actual Time Spent (hrs) | Number (optional input by user post-completion) | For self-reflection and time management analysis |

Subject Tracker

This table dynamically aggregates data from the Task List: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-----------| | Subject/Course | Text | Identifies each course or subject | | Total Tasks | Number (formula-driven) | Counts total tasks in this subject | | In Progress Tasks | Number (formula-driven) | Count of tasks with status = "In Progress" | | Completed Tasks | Number (formula-driven) | Count of tasks with status = "Completed" | | Completion Rate (%) | Percentage (calculated formula) | Completed / Total * 100 |

Calendar View

A grid-based layout showing dates of the current month. Each cell contains task descriptions and priority indicators using color-coded icons.

Formulas Required

This template leverages Excel's powerful functions for automation:

Task ID Auto-Generation: =CONCATENATE("S", TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd"), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))
Due Date Reminder: =IF(Due_Date<=TODAY()+3, "URGENT", IF(Due_Date<=TODAY()+7, "SOON", "")) (used in Dashboard)
Status Count: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed")
Completion Rate: =IF(Total_Tasks=0, 0, Completed_Tasks/Total_Tasks)
Days Until Due: =Due_Date-TODAY()

Conditional Formatting

The template applies dynamic visual cues to improve readability and urgency recognition:

Due Date Color Coding:
- If due date is within 3 days: Red background with white text
- If due in 4–7 days: Yellow background
- If more than 7 days away: Green background
Priority Level Highlighting:
- Critical → Bright red font and border
- High → Orange fill
- Medium → Light yellow
- Low → Gray background (dimmed)
Status-Based Formatting:
