Purpose: Study Organizer with Multi-Page To-Do List Functionality

This comprehensive Excel template is designed specifically as a Study Organizer, combining the power of task management with academic planning through a structured multi-page to-do list system. Ideal for students, researchers, and lifelong learners, this template enables efficient tracking of study goals, assignment deadlines, reading schedules, exam preparation tasks, and progress monitoring.

The "Weekly Planner" and "Daily To-Do List" sheets use similar structures but are dynamically populated based on the main task list, allowing users to view tasks per day or per week with filtering capabilities.

Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas for automation and intelligence:

• =IF(COUNTIFS(StatusColumn, "Completed")/COUNTA(TaskIDColumn), ...): Calculates overall completion percentage.
• =FILTER(TaskList, DueDate >= TODAY(), "No upcoming tasks"): Dynamically shows tasks due within the next 7 days.
• =IF(DueDate < TODAY(), "Overdue", IF(DueDate = TODAY(), "Today", "Future")): Classifies task status based on date.
• =SUMIFS(EstimatedTimeColumn, StatusColumn, "Completed"): Tracks total time spent on completed tasks.
• =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "In Progress"): Counts active tasks for real-time visibility.

Conditional Formatting

Smart visual cues enhance usability:

• Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text for any task where Due Date < Today.
• Prioritized Tasks: High-priority tasks (Priority = "High") shown in bold red font.
• Status Colors: “Not Started” = Gray, “In Progress” = Yellow, “Completed” = Green background.
