Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and automate calculations:

=NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date) – Calculates workdays between dates.
=IF(AND(Status="In Progress", DueDate – Flags overdue tasks with conditional logic.


    =SUMIFS(TaskTable[Actual Effort], TaskTable[Status], "Completed") – Sum total effort completed per month.
    =VLOOKUP(OwnerName, TeamList, 2, FALSE) – Links owners to team roles for consistency.
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(TaskTable[Priority]="High"), TaskTable[Est. Effort]) – Total high-priority effort.
    =COUNTIFS(TaskStatus, "Completed", DateRange, ">="&StartOfMonth) – Counts completed tasks per month.



Conditional Formatting Rules
The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to highlight key insights:

    Overdue Tasks: Red background if due date is before today and status is "In Progress".
    High Priority Tasks: Yellow font with bold style when priority = "Critical" or "High".
    Status Trends: Green gradient for 80%+ completion, orange for 50–79%, red below 50%.
    Meeting Overlaps: Highlight conflicts in the Meeting Schedule sheet using red shading when overlapping dates exist.
