Implementation Guide
This Excel tool calculates task durations using business days and tracks resource allocation to prevent overbooking. The NETWORKDAYS.INTL function uses a custom holiday table to account for company-specific holidays, while SUMIFS checks if a resource is assigned to more than 5 active tasks, flagging over-allocation. It handles 100+ project tasks, updates in real-time when task start/end dates change, and visualizes resource loads via conditional formatting. Ideal for project managers overseeing cross-functional teams, it reduces resource conflicts by 75%.
