Data Types and Formulas Required

All data entries use standardized data types to ensure consistency:

Text fields: Task ID, Description, Category, Assigned To
Date/Time: Start Time, End Time, Due Date
Enumeration: Priority Level (dropdown), Status (dropdown)
Numerical Duration: Calculated automatically using formula in "Durations (HH:MM)" column.

Formulas Used:

=IF(End_Time<>""; TEXT(End_Time - Start_Time; "h:mm"); "") – Calculates task duration automatically.
=IF(Due_Date – Flags overdue tasks dynamically.


    =COUNTIFS(Task_Scheduling_Master!Status; "Pending") – Used in summary to count pending tasks daily.
    =SUMIFS(Duration_Column; Status; "Completed") – Calculates total time spent on completed work per day.



Conditional Formatting Rules

    Pending Tasks Highlight: Cells in the "Status" column with value "Pending" are highlighted in yellow (warning).
    Overdue Tasks: Any task with a due date prior to today is shaded red and bold.
    High Priority Alerts: Rows where priority level is "Urgent" have background color in orange and text in white.
    Daily Log Completion Rate: In the Summary Dashboard, a green bar appears when >90% of tasks are completed.
