*This ensures progress updates automatically based on timeline.*

Budget Variance:
=SUMIF(Budget Tracker!A:A, Project ID, Budget Tracker!E:E) - SUMIF(Budget Tracker!A:A, Project ID, Budget Tracker!F:F)
*Aggregates total spend and compares to budget.*

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and alert users to potential issues:

Status Column: Color-coded (Green = Completed, Amber = On Track, Red = Delayed).
Progress (%): Bar chart indicator from 0% to 100%, with color gradient (Red → Yellow → Green).
