Sheet Names

• Task Master: Central repository of all scheduled tasks with metadata and tracking details.
• CRM Pipeline Summary: Aggregated view of task status by stage (e.g., Lead, Qualification, Proposal).
• Calendar View: A visual timeline representation of upcoming tasks sorted by date and priority.
• Reports & Analytics: Pre-formatted reports including performance metrics and trend analysis.
• User Assignments: Tracks who is responsible for which tasks with role-based filters.
• Notifications & Reminders: Automated alert triggers based on due dates or status changes.

Table Structures and Columns

The Task Master sheet is the core of this CRM Tracker. It contains a relational table structure with the following columns:

All columns are structured with appropriate data types: text for identifiers and descriptions, date/time for scheduling, and numeric percentages or enums (e.g., priority levels) for quantifiable metrics.

Formulas Required

The template includes dynamic formulas to maintain real-time accuracy:

• Due Date Calculation: =IF(AND(Scheduled_Start_Date<>""; Scheduled_End_Date=""), Scheduled_Start_Date + 1, Scheduled_End_Date)
• Completion Progress: =IF(Status="Done", 100, IF(Completion_Percentage="", 0, Completion_Percentage))
• Status Color Flag (for conditional formatting): =IF(Status="Done", "Green", IF(Status="In Progress", "Yellow", IF(Status="On Hold", "Orange", "Red"))) — used to drive visual status indicators.
• Priority-Based Due Date Warning: =IF(Priority="Urgent"; IF(Due_Date
• Auto-Update Last Updated: =NOW()
• CRM Stage Count (in Reports Sheet): =COUNTIFS(CRM_Stage, "Qualification")

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to improve user experience and visibility:

• Due Date Highlighting: If due date is within 3 days of today → red background.
• Status Colors: Open → blue; In Progress → yellow; On Hold → orange; Done → green.
• Priority Emphasis: Urgent tasks highlighted in bold with dark red text.
• Completion Progress Bars: Uses a dynamic color gradient (green to red) based on completion percentage using data bars.
• Overdue Tasks Flagging: Any task with due date earlier than today and status not “Done” is highlighted in orange with warning text.
