Formulas Required

The following formulas are embedded throughout the template:

• =IF(AND(B3&" "&C3="Pending", D3<>""), "Needs Follow-up", IF(C3="Completed", "On Track", "Delayed")) – Evaluates task status dynamically.
• =SUMIFS(SalesPerformance!D:D, SalesPerformance!A:A, ">="&DATE(2024,11,1), SalesPerformance!A:A, "<="&DATE(2024,11,30)) – Calculates weekly sales totals using date filters.
• =COUNTIFS(TaskSheet!E:E,"Active", TaskSheet!I:I,">50%") / COUNTIFS(TaskSheet!I:I,">0") – Computes task progress completion rate.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, UserAssignments!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Links task IDs to assigned users from the user assignments sheet.
• =ROUND(SalesTarget!D:D / SalesAchieved!C:C * 100, 1) – Calculates percentage of target met in performance summary.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and alert managers to key issues:

• Status Column: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "Active", Red for "Delayed" or "Pending with low progress".
• Progress (%) Cell: Color scales from blue (0–30%) to red (70–100%), highlighting performance gaps.
• Priorities: High → Red, Medium → Orange, Low → Green.
• Due Dates: Cells with dates in the past are shaded in red; cells within 3 days of due date turn yellow.
