Formulas & Dynamic Calculations

This template leverages advanced Excel formulas to automate key functions:

• Daily Duration Calculation: In each daily planner sheet, use:
  =IF(End_Time<>"", (End_Time - Start_Time)*24, "") to calculate hours spent per activity.
• Total Daily Spending (Expense Tracker):
  =SUMIFS(Amount, Date, ">=StartDate", Date, "<=EndDate") used in the Dashboard to aggregate daily costs.
• Progress Tracking:
  =COUNTIF(Status,"Completed")/COUNTA(Activity)/100 on the dashboard to show % of activities completed per day.
• Data Validation Rules: Prevent invalid entries using Data Validation in dropdowns, date ranges, and currency inputs.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues make navigation intuitive:

• Status Column (Daily Planner): Red "Pending", Blue "In Progress", Green "Completed".
• Spending Over Budget Alerts: If daily cost exceeds a set threshold, cells turn bright red.
• Time Block Coloring: Activities scheduled during peak hours (e.g., 10 AM–3 PM) get yellow highlights to prioritize planning.
