Sheet Names

Task List: Central master sheet containing all scheduled tasks.
Team Assignments: Tracks who is responsible for which tasks and their roles.
Status Summary: A dynamic summary dashboard showing task progress at a glance.
Due Date Alerts: Highlights overdue or upcoming tasks with visual warnings.
Reports & Analytics: Pre-formatted charts and tables for performance reviews.
User Reference: Stores team member details including roles, contact info, and availability.

Table Structures & Data Types

The primary data structure is a relational table format across the core sheets. The Task List sheet serves as the central hub with the following columns:

Column	Data Type	Description
Task ID	Auto-numbered (Integer)	Unique identifier for each task. Generated automatically via Excel's auto-increment feature.
Title	Text (Max 100 characters)	Clear, concise description of the task.
Description	Text (Max 500 characters)	Detailed context or notes about the task’s purpose and expected outcomes.
Customer/Contact Name	Text	Name of the customer, lead, or internal stakeholder involved.
Assigned To	Text (Dropdown)	User name selected from the User Reference sheet. Dropdown list ensures consistency and reduces typos.
Priority Level	Text (Dropdown: Low, Medium, High, Urgent)	Defines task urgency and affects scheduling and alerting logic.
Due Date	Date (Formatted DD/MM/YYYY)	When the task must be completed. Automatically validated against current date.
Status	Text (Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Overdue)	Tracks progress in real time. Updates trigger conditional formatting and reporting.
Start Date	Date (Optional)	If applicable (e.g., for long-term projects), when the task began.
Estimated Duration	Number (Hours)	Estimated time required to complete the task. Used in workload analysis.
Category	Text (Dropdown: Sales, Support, Marketing, Operations)	Categorizes tasks for reporting and filtering.
Created Date	Date (Auto-populated)	When the task was entered into the system.

The Team Assignments sheet uses a one-to-many relationship, allowing multiple tasks to be linked to a single team member. It includes:

User ID (linked to Task List)
Name
Email
Department
Availability Window (e.g., "Mon-Fri, 9 AM – 5 PM")

Used for smart task assignment based on availability.

Formulas Required

The following Excel formulas are embedded to enhance functionality:

=TODAY(): Automatically populates the Created Date when a new row is added.
=IF(DueDate: Checks if a task is overdue or due today.

=NETWORKDAYS(Start_Date, Due_Date): Calculates number of working days between start and end dates (used in workload projections).

=VLOOKUP(Assigned To, User Reference!A:B, 2, FALSE): Pulls full name from user reference when assigning tasks.

=COUNTIF(Status,"Completed") and similar functions: Used in summary reports to calculate task completion rates.

=SUMIFS(Estimated Duration, Category, "Sales", Status, "In Progress"): Aggregates effort by category and status for resource planning.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues are critical for business users. The following conditional formatting rules are applied:

Overdue Tasks: Background turns red if the task is overdue (Due Date < Today).

Priority Alerts: High and Urgent tasks in bold with yellow highlight.

Status Progress Bars: A horizontal bar (using Data Bar) shows completion progress from "Not Started" to "Completed".

Due Tomorrow: Tasks due within 24 hours are highlighted in orange with a border.

Inconsistent Status: If Status is not filled, a warning flag appears in red text.
