Table Structures and Columns
1. Tasks & To-Do List (Main Table)
This table serves as the backbone of the Study Organizer To-Do List Template Version 2.0. It contains 8 core columns with defined data types:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Example |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier (e.g., STU-001, STU-002) for tracking. |

| Subject | List (Dropdown) | Predefined subjects: Math, Physics, Biology, Literature, History, etc. |
| Due Date | Date | Scheduled completion date (e.g., 2024-05-15). |
| Priority Level | List (Low/Medium/High) | Indicates urgency: High = must complete today, Low = can delay. |

2. Daily Planner Table
A grid-based calendar view spanning 7 days with time slots (e.g., 8:00–9:00 AM, 9:00–10:00 AM). Each cell links to tasks from the main list using drop-downs or direct references.
3. Subject Tracker Table
| Subject | Total Tasks | Completed | % Complete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics (Calculus) | 18 | 12 | =ROUND(12/18, 2) → 67% |
Formulas Required
The template leverages several advanced Excel formulas to maintain dynamic functionality:
- Auto-generate Task IDs:
=CONCATENATE("STU-", TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1, "000"))— Ensures unique ID numbering. - Due Date Reminder:
=IF(D2-TODAY()=3, "Due in 3 days", IF(D2-TODAY()=1, "Due Tomorrow", IF(D2 - Status Summary:
=COUNTIF(F:F,"Completed") / COUNTA(F:F)— Calculates overall completion rate. - Time Tracking:
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(G:G), G:G, 0))— Totals estimated study time for planning. - Prioritized Tasks Count:
=COUNTIFS(E:E,"High",F:F,"Not Started")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and immediate recognition of task status, the template applies these rules:
- Overdue Tasks: If Due Date is before today → Red fill with white text.
- Due in 3 Days: Yellow highlight to indicate impending deadlines.
- Prioritized Tasks (High Priority): Orange background for all High-priority tasks not yet started.
