Table Structure & Columns

All data types are clearly defined:

• Task: Brief description of the chore or responsibility.

Formulas Required

The template includes several built-in formulas to enhance functionality and support team accountability:

• =TODAY(): Automatically populates the "Date Assigned" column when a row is added.
• =IF(C2>D2, "Overdue", IF(C2=D2, "Due Today", "On Track")): Flags overdue tasks in the status column (used in conditional formatting).
• =IF(E2="Completed", B2&" completed at "&F2,""): Generates a completion summary for notes.
• =SUMIFS(M:M, E:M, "Completed"): Calculates total hours spent on completed tasks in a report view (used in dashboard summary).
• =COUNTIFS(E:E,"Pending"): Counts pending tasks to highlight workload balance.
• =NOW() for the "Last Updated" column—auto-updates whenever a cell is edited.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies dynamic conditional formatting to visually represent task status and urgency:

• Status Highlighting:
  • Pending → Yellow background
  • In Progress → Light blue background
  • Completed → Green background with "✓" symbol in a text box.
• Due Date Alerts:
  • If due date is within 2 days of today → Red highlight with bold text.
  • If due date is more than 7 days away → Gray background, indicating long-term planning.
• Priority Indicator:

This visual feedback strengthens team awareness and drives timely action—central to effective Team Collaboration.
