Total Amount Due: =Extended_Amount + Sales_Tax_Amount
Audit Flag: =IF(OR(Total_Amount_Due <= 0, ISBLANK(Client_Name), Status = "Draft"), "Yes", "No")

Overdue Invoices: Red fill with white text if Due Date is earlier than today.
Paid Invoices: Green background with checkmark icon (using conditional icons).
High-Value Invoices: Amber highlight if Total Amount Due exceeds $10,000.
