Each daily sheet follows a consistent structure for easy navigation:| Column | Data Type | Description/Example |

| Priority Level | Dropdown (Low / Medium / High) | Helps prioritize activities based on importance. |

Formulas Required
The template incorporates key formulas for automation and insight:- Total Daily Time:
=SUMPRODUCT((Duration)*(1/(ROW(Duration)-ROW(StartRow)+1)))→ Sums all durations to show total daily activity time. - Status Summary:
=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed")/COUNTA(StatusRange)→ Calculates percentage of completed tasks per day. - Budget Allocation Tracker: In the Budget Sheet, formulas calculate daily spending totals using
SUMIFSto group expenses by date and category. - Prioritized Task Count:
=COUNTIF(PriorityRange, "High")→ Tracks how many high-priority activities remain. - Travel Progress Meter: A formula-based gauge in the Dashboard uses:
=MIN(1, COUNTIF(StatusRange,"Completed")/COUNTA(StatusRange))
Conditional Formatting Rules
Visual cues enhance readability and tracking:- Status Column: Green fill for “Completed”, yellow for “In Progress”, gray for “Not Started”.
- Priority Level: Red background if priority = High, orange if Medium, no color if Low.
- Budget Thresholds: If daily spending exceeds the allocated budget (set in settings), cells turn red with an icon set (traffic light).
- Time Slot Overlaps: Highlight overlapping time slots with a warning symbol to prevent scheduling conflicts.
