- Days Until Due:
=IF([@[Due Date]]="", "", [@Due Date] - TODAY()) - Overdue Flag:
=IF(AND([@[Status]]<>"Completed", [@[Due Date]] - Last Updated By (Auto-fill): Use a simple formula:
=USER()or link to a user login system. - Duplicate Detection: Use conditional formatting with formula:
=COUNTIF([Task ID], [@ID]) > 1
