Due Date & Start Date: Date/Time format (auto-parsed from user input)
Status: Dropdown with options: "Not Started", "In Progress", "On Hold", "Completed"
Priority Level: Dropdown: High, Moderate, Low
Estimated & Actual Hours: Numeric (formatted as time or decimal)
Progress (%): Calculated dynamically via formula; capped at 100%

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The following formulas enhance functionality and automate reporting:

=IF(AND(DueDate – Flags overdue tasks.


    =IF(EstimatedHours > 0, ActualHours / EstimatedHours, 0) – Calculates completion percentage based on time spent.
    =COUNTIF(Status, "Completed") / COUNTA(TaskID) – Used in dashboard to compute overall task completion rate.
    =SUMIFS(ActualHours, Status, "In Progress") – Tracks total hours currently being worked on.
    =TEXT(TODAY(), "mm/dd/yyyy") – Used in reports to show current date dynamically.
    Auto-Task ID: A custom formula uses a counter starting at 1, incrementing each new row with: =IF(A2="", "", "T" & TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")).



CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance visual clarity and team awareness, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:


    Priority Highlight: High priority tasks show red background; moderate—yellow; low—green.
    Status Indicators: "In Progress" → orange background; "Completed" → green; "Overdue" → dark red.
    Due Date Alerts: Tasks due within 3 days show yellow font with a warning border.
    Progress Bars: A conditional format applies gradient fills to the Progress (%) column (0-25%: gray, 26-75%: blue, 76-100%: green).


USER INSTRUCTIONS

How to Use:

    Open the template and go to the Task Master Sheet.
    Add new tasks by entering the title, description, assignee, priority, due date, and estimated hours.
    Update task status as work progresses (select from dropdown).
    Use the comments section to add feedback or request clarification.
    Each team member should check their assigned tasks weekly and update progress manually or via automated reports.
    The Progress Dashboard sheet will auto-refresh every time the master sheet is updated.
    Generate a weekly summary by navigating to the "Weekly Summary Report" tab and clicking "Update Report".

    Keep descriptions concise but descriptive enough for clarity.
    Review the dashboard monthly to identify recurring bottlenecks or overloads.


EXAMPLE ROWS

The template includes multiple example rows to guide users. Sample data demonstrates:


    A high-priority design task with 8 hours estimated and 35% progress.
    An in-progress development item with actual time tracking.
    A completed task marked as such with zero remaining hours.


RECOMMENDED CHARTS AND DASHBOARDS

To support better decision-making in team collaboration, the template integrates the following visual elements:


    Bar Chart – Task Completion by Team Member: Shows how much each member has completed.
    Pie Chart – Priority Distribution: Visualizes task breakdown by priority level (High/Moderate/Low).
    Line Graph – Progress Over Time: Tracks progress from start to due date for key tasks.
    Heatmap of Task Status by Week: Highlights overdue or stalled tasks across weeks.
    Gantt Chart (via Power Query or pivot): A visual timeline showing task dependencies and durations.


All charts are dynamically updated and link directly to the underlying data tables. They provide instant visibility into workflow bottlenecks, team capacity, and project health.
