Status Update (Compliance Tracker): =IF(TODAY() > DueDate, "Overdue", IF(Completed="Yes", "Completed", "In Progress")) automatically updates status daily.
Completion Rate (Dashboard): =ROUND((COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusColumn)) * 100, 1) & "%"
Overdue Items Counter: =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "Overdue")
Milestone Detection (Habit Log): Uses a conditional formula to trigger milestone text when streak reaches 7, 30, or 90 days.
