The template ensures that no task is overlooked and that each team member contributes equitably toward a seamless travel experience.

Formulas Required

In the Status Dashboard, use =COUNTIFS(ChoreTracker[Status], "Completed") and =COUNTA(ChoreTracker[Chore ID]) to calculate % complete: =ROUND((CompletedCount/TotalCount)*100,1)&"%"
Conditional Task Highlighting: Use formula in conditional formatting for overdue tasks: =AND([@[Due Date]]


    Team Workload Summary: Use =COUNTIFS(ChoreTracker[Assigned To], "Alice", ChoreTracker[Priority], "High") to track individual load.
    Date Remaining: Column formula: =IF([@[Due Date]]<>"", [@[Due Date]]-TODAY(), "") to show days left.



Conditional Formatting Rules


    Overdue Tasks (Red): Apply when Due Date is past and Status is “Not Started” or “In Progress”.
    High Priority (Orange Border): Highlight entire row if Priority = "High".
    Completed Tasks (Light Green Fill): Automatically apply when Status changes to "Completed".
    Due in 3 Days or Less (Yellow Fill): Applies if Due Date is within 3 days and status isn’t “Completed”.
