Sheet Names

Task Scheduling: Main sheet containing all assigned tasks with due dates, priorities, and status.
Bill Tracker: Central table linking tasks to active bills, including payment due dates and amounts.
Manager Dashboard: Summary view with visual indicators of task progress, overdue bills, and financial health.
Reports & Filters: A dedicated sheet for exporting data via filters or generating monthly reports.

Table Structures & Data Types

The core tables follow a relational design to ensure clarity and interconnectivity between tasks and financial obligations:

1. Task Scheduling Table (Sheet: Task Scheduling)

Task ID	Description	Assigned To	Start Date	Due Date	Status (Dropdown)	Priority (Low/Med/High/Urgent)	Related Bill ID (Link)
T001	Finalize Q3 Marketing Campaign	Jane Doe	2024-03-15	2024-04-15	In Progress	High	BIL-8765
T002	Server Maintenance Review	John Smith	2024-03-10	2024-03-31	Completed	Moderate	BIL-8764

All dates are stored as Date data types, status uses a dropdown list of “Not Started,” “In Progress,” “On Hold,” and “Completed.” Priority is categorized with predefined values to support filtering. Task ID is a unique alphanumeric identifier.

2. Bill Tracker Table (Sheet: Bill Tracker)

Bill ID	Vendor Name	Description	Amount (USD)	Due Date	Status (Dropdown)	Related Task(s) (Text Box)
BIL-8764	CloudTech Inc.	Monthly Hosting Fees	1200.00	2024-05-15	Paid	T002, T018
BIL-8765	DesignPro Studio	Marketing Materials Design	2400.00	2024-05-31	Pending	T001, T019

The “Amount” field stores numeric values in USD with two decimal places. Status is a dropdown: “Pending,” “Paid,” or “Overdue.” The "Related Task(s)" column links bills directly to scheduled tasks for transparency.

Formulas Required

IF() and DATEDIF(): To flag overdue bills using =IF(DueDate.


    Sumif() or SUMIFS(): To calculate total outstanding bills by status: =SUMIFS(Amount, Status, "Pending").
    VLOOKUP(): To auto-populate task descriptions in the Bill Tracker when a Bill ID is entered.
    NETWORKDAYS(): To calculate working days between start and due dates for progress tracking.
    CONCATENATE() or &: For dynamically generating “Related Tasks” strings from multiple IDs.



Conditional Formatting Rules

    Overdue Bills (Green to Red): If due date is less than today, color the "Status" cell red with bold text.
    High Priority Tasks (Yellow Background): When priority = “Urgent” or “High,” highlight the row in yellow.
    Progress Bars: Using conditional formatting with data bars to visualize task completion percentage based on start/due dates.
    Payment Status Alerts: If bill status is "Pending" and due date is within 7 days, apply a yellow border.
