Resource Allocation: Tracks personnel, time, and budget assigned to each task.
Progress Reports: Weekly or monthly summary reports with automated calculations of task completion rates.
Settings & Formulas: Hidden sheet containing all formulas, definitions, and user configuration options (e.g., cost per hour, default statuses).

Formulas Required

The following formulas are embedded throughout the template:

=Estimated_Hours * Unit_Cost: Computes total task cost (e.g., $100/hour).

=IF(STATUS="In Progress", -Total_Cost, IF(STATUS="Completed", Total_Cost, 0)): Assigns asset/liability value to the balance sheet.

=SUMIF(Status,"Completed", Total_Cost): Sum of completed tasks as positive equity.

=COUNTIF(Status,"Planned") and similar: Used for status tracking reports.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to highlight key metrics:

Red background: If "Due Date" is less than today’s date (indicating overdue).

Yellow background: If "Remaining Hours" < 10, indicating high urgency.

Green background: If status is "Completed" or task value exceeds $5,000 (positive equity).

Bold text: For tasks assigned to managers or with high priority (threshold > 100 hours).
