Hi there,

I am looking for a spreadsheet template that I can use to solve the following;

I work with a design team and within each project, the tasks are each given an allocation of time to complete. For example;
  • Task One - 3 hours of work
  • Task Two - 1 hour of work
  • Task Three - 5 hours of work
The task is then given a timeframe to complete, for example;
  • Task One - 3 hours of work to complete within 1 week
  • Task Two - 1 hour of work to complete within 1 week
  • Task Three - 5 hours of work to complete within 2 weeks
The next layer is to add in the resource for each task, for example;
  • Task One - 3 hours of work to complete within 1 week by Dave
  • Task Two - 1 hour of work to complete within 1 week by Julie
  • Task Three - 5 hours of work to complete within 2 weeks by Dave
Each task does also have actual dates and the dates will need to be linked to the previous task, to change as actual tasks are completed and to track live dates.

What I'm looking for, is the best way to set this up so that we can easily see the resources at a glance and show how many hours of work each resource has week by week.

If anyone has a template available or advice on how to set this up, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers :)

Hi There,

I would suggest using application like TrackingTime / Notion / Jira.
If excel is the only way, refer
. This video might be more complicated as it contains Budget & completion statistics.
(Without using VBA, you need to use pivot tables, excel formulas like COUNTIF, and Conditional Formatting formulas to show how busy is your workers in a week time)

I have roughly build some example as below: (following the video)

Step 1: You will need a sheet for "Reference" (or "Working"). This contains list of your task, worker, sum of totals, small pivots for dashboard.

Step 2: Create a sheet for "Entry" (or "Data"). Usually, there will be entry of who is assigned on which task & start date.

Step 3: There will be a sheet for "Calendar" (or "Dashboard"). This sheet contains pivot table from "Data" / "Entry", and equipped with slicer for filtering each worker.

Green Cells in the "Calendar" shows that the worker is occupied with some tasks. If there is less green area, then the worker is more likely available for new task.

It might not be the final template you wanted, but give it a try, it might get you to a more clear / precise template you wanted. Else, please describe more on the final result that you desired.

Thanks!
