Data Types and Formulas Used

The template leverages a combination of Excel formulas to ensure dynamic data updates:

=IF(DueDate – Automatically flags overdue tasks.


    =NETWORKDAYS(DateAssigned, DueDate) – Calculates workdays between assignment and due date.
    =SUMIFS(StatusRange, StatusColumn, "In Progress") – Counts total in-progress tasks per department.
    =VLOOKUP(OrderID, OrderTracker!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Links task status to order details.
    =TEXT(DueDate,"mmm d") – Displays due dates in a readable format.



Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and usability, the template applies conditional formatting:

    Cells with overdue tasks turn red.
    Status columns use color coding: Green (Complete), Yellow (In Progress), Red (Overdue).
    High-priority tasks are highlighted in orange.
    Progress bars appear dynamically using a "Data Bar" format from 0% to 100%.
