SUMIF(): To calculate total chore hours per person.
COUNTIFS(): To count completed or overdue tasks based on multiple criteria (e.g., status + date).
IF() with nested conditions: Determines task priority color, flags overdue tasks (e.g., IF(End Date < TODAY(), "Overdue", "On Time")).
TEXT(): Formats dates and times in readable formats (e.g., "Mon Dec 05").
INDEX/MATCH(): For dynamic lookups of task details without hard-coded references.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To improve visual clarity, the template applies conditional formatting across key cells:
Status Cells (Progress Tracker): Green for "✓", Red for "✗", Yellow if overdue.
Prioritization Column: Color-coded from green (1) to red (5).
Overdue Flagging: Entire row turns red if a task is due and has not been completed.
High-Load Warning: If any person exceeds 40% of total assigned tasks in a week, the row highlights in orange.
Dashboard Highlights: Top 3 overdue tasks are bolded and shaded for visibility.
