What does this template do?
Track active project issues with owners, opened dates, target dates, and an explicit resolution date.
Age runs from opened date to resolution date for closed issues and to the fixed review date for open issues. Days late compares target date with the same endpoint.
An issue is an existing problem, not a potential risk. The register does not assign business priority from age alone or verify whether a resolution is effective.
The working tab keeps editable inputs separate from formulas, with room for 60 records. The Notes tab explains the method and how to extend the range. All example records are fictional and can be replaced. Download a workbook format to retain formulas, or CSV when you need calculated values only.
What’s inside

- 60 prepared record rows with blank-row guards
- Blue input cells, typed dates and numbers, and frozen column headers
- Notes with the method, assumptions, and range-extension instructions

What formulas does this template use?
This template holds 122 formulas in 168 cells across 2 tabs, so 73% of its cells calculate. They use 7 distinct functions; the longest formula is 124 characters.
| Function | Uses | What it does |
|---|---|---|
IF | 421 | one result when a test is true, another when false |
ISNUMBER | 120 | true for a number |
MAX | 120 | largest value |
NOT | 120 | reverses true and false |
COUNTA | 2 | counts non-empty cells |
COUNTIF | 2 | counts cells meeting one condition |
COUNT | 1 | counts numeric cells |
Counted from the workbook itself. Only functions that Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers evaluate the same way are used, so the formulas survive every download format.
How do you use it?

Questions about this sheet
How is the result calculated?
Age runs from opened date to resolution date for closed issues and to the fixed review date for open issues. Days late compares target date with the same endpoint.
What assumptions should I check?
An issue is an existing problem, not a potential risk. The register does not assign business priority from age alone or verify whether a resolution is effective.
Can I add more than 60 records?
Yes. Copy the formula columns into new rows and extend every summary range to include them. Keep inputs and formulas in their original columns.
Are the example records real?
No. All example data is fictional and intended to demonstrate the formulas. Replace it before using the workbook for your own work.
