Formulas Required

% Complete Calculation (Sheet 1, Column H): =IF(G2="Not Started", 0, IF(G2="Completed", 100, IF(G2="In Progress", 50, IF(G2="Delayed", 30, ""))) This formula auto-calculates the percentage based on task status.
Deadline Warning (Conditional Formatting Trigger): Use a formula to highlight tasks due within 3 days: =AND(E2<>"" , E2<=TODAY()+3, E2>=TODAY(), F2<>"Completed")
Task Count (Dashboard Summary): In a summary section of Sheet 1, use: =COUNTIF(F:F,"Not Started"), =COUNTIF(F:F,"In Progress"), etc., to show totals.
Date Auto-Population (Sheet 2): Use a simple formula in the first cell of Column A: =DATE(Year, Month, Day) — e.g., =DATE(2024,4,1), then drag down to populate the month.

Conditional Formatting

Overdue Tasks: Highlight red if Due Date is earlier than today and Status ≠ "Completed". Use formula: =AND(E2"Completed")
High Priority Tasks: Apply yellow fill to rows where Column G = "High".
Meals with Dietary Restrictions: In Sheet 2, highlight cells in Column F if they contain specific keywords like "Vegan", "Gluten-Free", etc.
