• =IF(DueDate: Automatically updates the status to “Overdue” when a task misses its deadline.
• =COUNTIFS(“Assigned To”, A2, “Status”, “Pending”) : Counts pending tasks per team member for workload analysis.

• =IF(AND(Frequency="Daily", Today() - StartDate > 7), “Needs Review”, “On Track”): Flags tasks that have been ongoing too long and require reassessment.
