Task & Deadline Tracker (Excel)

Never miss a deadline again.

Colour-coded tasks that warn you before things go wrong. See what's overdue, what's due today and what's next, and light up the row you're working on with one key. No macros.

WHAT IT DOES

• Colour-coded statuses: Not Started, In Progress, Waiting, Done and Cancelled

• Colour-coded priorities: High, Medium and Low

• Automatic deadline warnings: Overdue, Due today, Due soon or On track, plus days left or days late

• Overdue rows tinted red; Done tasks fade out and get crossed off

• Highlight the row you're on: click a task and press F9. No macros, no security warnings

• Live dashboard: total, done, overdue and due this week, overall progress, your next 10 deadlines, and charts by status and category

• Progress bars, an Owner column and 10 categories you can rename

• Choose how many days counts as "due soon"

• Room for 500 tasks, with filters and sorting

• Example tasks that always show every colour, plus a Start Here guide
