- If 90%+ of compliance items completed: "On Track"
- If 70%-89% completed: "At Risk"
- If <70% completed: "Overdue"
=IF(COUNTIF(Compliance Tracker[Status], "Completed")/COUNTA(Compliance Tracker[Task])>=0.9, "On Track", IF(COUNTIF(Compliance Tracker[Status], "Completed")/COUNTA(Compliance Tracker[Task])>=0.7, "At Risk", "Overdue")) - Auto-Generate Transaction ID:
