Sheet Names

The workbook consists of four distinct sheets designed to support every phase of the study workflow:

2. Progress Dashboard: A visual overview of your task completion status, deadlines, and priority levels using charts and conditional formatting.

Table Structure in Task Master Sheet

The Task Master sheet contains a primary data table with the following structure:

• Primary Table Range: A dynamic Excel Table (created via Ctrl+T) named "tblTasks" spanning columns A to G, starting at row 2.
• Data Rows: Starting from row 3, each new study task is added as a separate row.
• Header Row: Row 1 contains column headers for clarity and filtering capabilities.

Columns and Data Types

The table in the Task Master sheet includes the following columns with their respective data types:

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to enhance functionality and automate data tracking:

• Auto-Generated Task ID (Column A):
  Formula in cell A3: =IF(B3="", "", ROW()-1)
  This creates a sequential ID only if the task name is filled, ensuring consistency and traceability.
• Days Until Due (Column H – Hidden):
  Formula in cell H2: =D2-TODAY()
  Displays remaining days until the due date. Positive = not overdue; negative = overdue.
• Task Completion Rate (Dashboard):
  Formula in a cell on the Progress Dashboard:
  =COUNTIF(tblTasks[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(tblTasks[Task Name])
• High Priority Count:
  Formula: =COUNTIF(tblTasks[Priority Level], "High")
• Overdue Tasks Counter:
  Formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(tblTasks[Due Date]"Completed"))

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and user awareness, the template applies the following conditional formatting rules:

• Overdue Tasks: If a task's due date is earlier than today and status is not "Completed", the entire row turns red with white text.
• Priorities: Rows with "High" priority are highlighted in bright yellow; "Medium" in light orange; "Low" in pale green.
• Status Indicators:
  • "Not Started": Gray fill
  • "In Progress": Light blue fill
  • "Completed": Green checkmark icon (using emoji font)
• Due Date Alerts: Tasks due within 3 days are flagged with a red border.
