Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of built-in Excel formulas to automate calculations and ensure data consistency:

=IF(B3="","", C3 & " - " & D3) – Auto-generates a duration string based on start and end dates.
=IF(E3="Completed", 100, IF(E3="In Progress", (F3/G3)*100, 0)) – Calculates progress % based on actual vs. estimated hours.
=VLOOKUP(A2, Team Members!$A:$B, 2, FALSE) – Links task assignment to team member details for visibility.
=NETWORKDAYS(B3,D3) – Calculates workdays between start and due dates (excluding weekends).
=SUMIFS($L$3:$L$100, $G$3:$G$100, "Completed") – Sums total completed hours across all tasks.
=COUNTIF($E$3:$E$100,"In Progress") – Counts number of tasks currently in progress.
=AND(D3 – Flags overdue tasks with conditional formatting.

    Status Colors: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Overdue" or "On Hold".
