Formulas Required

The template relies on a suite of dynamic formulas to ensure real-time data accuracy:

• TOTAL TIME PER CLIENT (Dashboard): =SUMIFS(TimeLog!D:G, TimeLog!C:C, "ClientID")
• DURATION IN HOURS: =TEXT(B2/60, "0.0") in the time log to convert minutes to decimal hours.
• Automated Follow-Up Date: =IF(E2="Call", E2 + 3, IF(E2="Meeting", E2 + 7, E2 + 14)) – based on interaction type and priority.
• Weekly Time Allocation: =SUMIFS(TimeLog!D:D, TimeLog!A:A, ">=start_date", TimeLog!A:A, "<=end_date")
• Pivot Table Calculations: SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF used in Analytics sheet for advanced filtering.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance usability and alert users to critical data points, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Pending Tasks Highlighted: Any row where "Status" = "Pending" turns light yellow.
• Overdue Interactions: If "Next Follow-Up Date" is earlier than today, the row turns red with a warning border.
• High-Value Clients: Clients with over 10 hours of engagement are highlighted in green.
• Late Entries: Tasks recorded after 9 PM show a gradient red fill to emphasize late work.
• Time Spent Exceeding Average: Any entry where duration exceeds the average (calculated via MAX function) triggers a warning icon.
