Great!! Muchas Gracias!!

In this video, I'll show you how to make an interactive task management tracker in Excel. On the top of the Excel dashboard, we'll will show the KPIs, including tasks completed, tasks in progress, and tasks not started. We will also show the distribution of tasks by owner and employees and the number of tasks that are overdue. Below will show all of the different tasks, with formulas and conditional formatting to detect the task status, and which tasks are overdue. Throughout we'll be using Excel formulas like COUNTIF, SUM, or TODAY to make sure the file is dynamic. We'll also be using Excel tables, conditional formatting, drop-down lists, and much more to create a fully interactive task management tracker in Excel. Finally, for the KPIs, we'll be using bar charts, text boxes, and shapes.

excel's powerful for sure, but it's not for everything. i switched to akiflow for managing tasks when excel got too messy.

This is amazing! But could you please help me? I followed the steps but for some reason I keep getting an error message for “Overdue” on the top of the dashboard indicating that the formula is missing a range reference or a defined name. I go back to the support sheet to make sure it’s getting the info from the overdue section but the formula doesn’t seem to go through. @KenjiExplains

Really like this tool. How would I be able to set up a second tab for completed item to move to the new tab from your main list?

@timothysexton7621

GREAT !!!
THANKS

@bertvantol9669
@

i have did wht you did in the overdue colomn but its just all of them is true

@firsttouch-n5j
@

Hi Kenji and thanks for this super helpful tracker! Is there a way of adding a formula that would hide the "TRUE" value in overdue when the table isn't full and you have empty rows? Cheers again for your work and looking forward to your tips

@green_arr0w84
@

I was wondering how to change the wording to get the # of tasks by Owner and By Team to only show those that are not completed. I wrote down: =COUNTIFS(Reviews[Origin],List!B4,Reviews[Origin],Reviews[Read]<>"Completed") but it's giving me a 0 instead of 2 (both are in status Not Started).

@thepeddler9226
@

Thanks a lot. I followed along and was very happy with the final version.

Thank you so much. I was looking for an easy to do, straightforward dashboard and this is it! My dashboard is even being used to report to the Finance Director! 🎉😂

@Tsitsi.D
@

@KenjiExplains: I think there is an error in the formula in the "J Column," specifically from J4 to J17. Please correct me if I am wrong here. If I apply the suggested formula in J3 to J17, I get 8 counts as TRUE, i.e., Overdue. Please help me with this.
