Table Structures and Data Types

Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of built-in Excel formulas to ensure dynamic updates:

• =TODAY(): Used in due date comparison and reminder logic.
• =IF(Due Date < TODAY(), "Overdue", IF(Due Date = TODAY(), "Today", "Pending")): Dynamically flags overdue tasks.
• =IF(AND(Status="Completed", Completion Time<>""), TRUE, FALSE): Checks if completion time is valid after task closure.
• =IF(STATUS="Pending", "No", IF(STATUS="In Progress", "Yes", "No")): Generates a due date reminder flag.
• =NOW() in Last Updated column automatically updates when data is edited.
• =COUNTIFS(Category,"Cleaning"): Used in summary charts to count task volumes per category.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visual clarity and user engagement, conditional formatting is applied:

• Status Colors:
  • Pending → Yellow
  • In Progress → Orange
  • Completed → Green
• Overdue Tasks: Background turns red if due date is behind current date.
• High Priority: Row background turns blue when priority is "High".
• Due Tomorrow: Cells in the Due Date column highlight with light purple when due in 24 hours.
