=IF([@Total Tasks]=0, 0, [@Completed]/[@Total Tasks])
- Deadline in Days:
=MAX(1,DATEDIF(TODAY(),[@Deadline],"d"))
- Subject Progress (%):
=SUMIFS(StudyTasks[Study Duration (hrs)], StudyTasks[Project Name], [@Subject Name])/[@Total Study Hours Needed]
- Last Updated (Auto-fill): Use a VBA macro or =NOW() in a helper column with conditional logic to prevent overwrite.
Conditional Formatting Rules
The template features intelligent visual cues:
- Due Date Warning: Red if due date is within 3 days; orange if within 7 days.
