Table Structures & Columns (Chore Master Sheet)

The core of the template is the "Chore Master Sheet," which contains a structured table with the following columns:

Data Types & Formulas Required:

• Task ID: Auto-generated using a formula like =IF(ROW()&"CH", "CH"&TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) to ensure uniqueness.
• Date Assigned: Automatically populated via today’s date or user input.
• Due Date: Set by the team lead or collaboratively set using a date picker (user input).
• Status Column: Uses drop-down list with values: “Not Started”, “In Progress”, “On Hold”, “Completed”.
• Priority Level: Drop-down list with options: Low, Medium, High, Urgent.
• Completion Date: Auto-filled when task is marked "Completed" using a formula like =IF(C2="Completed", TODAY(), "")
• Days Left Formula: =DueDate - TODAY() (only if due date is after today).
• Automated Alerts: Uses conditional formatting to highlight overdue tasks or high-priority pending items.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: If "Due Date" < TODAY() and "Status" ≠ “Completed”, the row turns red with a warning icon.
• High Priority Tasks: If priority is “Urgent” or “High” and status is not complete, the task background turns yellow.
• In Progress: Rows with status "In Progress" have a light blue background to denote active work.
• Upcoming Tasks: Tasks due within 3 days of today are highlighted in orange with a bold font.
