Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:

• =IF(D2="Daily", TODAY()+1, IF(D2="Weekly", TODAY()+7, IF(D2="Bi-weekly", TODAY()+14, IF(D2="Monthly", DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())+1, 1), "")))) — Automatically calculates the next due date based on frequency.
• =IF(E2="", "", "Team Member: " & E2) — Displays assigned team member in a readable format.
• =IF(H2="Completed", "✔️", "") — Uses conditional icons to mark completed tasks.
• =COUNTIF($H$2:$H$100, "Completed") / COUNTA($H$2:$H$100) — Calculates the completion rate in the Dashboard sheet.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, TeamMaster!A:B, 2, FALSE) — Pulls team member names from a master list to prevent duplicates.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and team engagement:

• Status Column (H): Pending cells are shaded yellow; Completed cells turn green.
• Due Date Column (G): Cells with dates in the past are highlighted red to indicate overdue tasks.
• Frequency-based coloring: Daily chores show a blue background, weekly chores appear in orange, and monthly ones in gray for easy recognition.
