=ROUNDUP((COUNTIFS(Projects[Project ID], [@Project ID], Tasks[Status], "<>Complete")/COUNTIF(Projects[Project ID], [@Project ID]))*100, 1) – Calculates project progress percentage.
=SUMIF([Client Interactions]!C:C, [@Client Name], [Client Interactions]!D:D) – Totals interactions per client (used in Dashboard).
=IF([@Budget]=0, "No Budget Set", IF([@Actual Spend]/[@Budget]>1.1, "Over Budget", IF([@Actual Spend]/[@Budget]<0.9, "Under Budget", "On Track"))) – Financial health indicator.
=VLOOKUP([@Project ID], Project Overview!$A:$K, 8, FALSE) – Pulls project status into task sheet for cross-referencing.

Late Status: Orange fill for tasks past due but not completed.
