Formulas Required

• Status Indicator: =IF(TODAY() > Due_Date, IF(Status="Completed", "On Time", "Overdue"), IF(Status="Completed", "On Time", "")) — Flags overdue tasks.
• Completion Rate Calculation (Weekly Overview): =COUNTIF(STATUS_COLUMN, "Completed") / COUNTA(STATUS_COLUMN) * 100 — Displays percentage of completed tasks per week.
• Pending Tasks Counter: =COUNTIF(Status, "Not Started") + COUNTIF(Status, "In Progress")
• Overdue Task Alert: Conditional formatting rules use formula-based logic: =AND(Due_Date"Completed")
• Budget Variance: =IF(Budget_Expected=0, "N/A", (Actual - Budget_Expected) / Budget_Expected) — Shows variance as percentage.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text when Due Date is before today and Status ≠ "Completed".
• Pending High-Priority Items: Orange background for tasks with Priority = "High" and Status ≠ "Completed".
• Completion Progress Bars: Color-coded bar charts in status cells using data bars (e.g., green for completed, yellow for in progress).
• Budget Warning: If variance exceeds ±10%, cell turns red or green accordingly.
