Formulas Required

=COUNTIF(Status:Status,"Published") / COUNTA(Title:Title) in Dashboard – calculates weekly completion rate.
=SUMIF(Purchase_Required:Purchase_Required,"Yes",Budget_Allocated:Budget_Allocated) - SUMIF(Purchase_Required:Purchase_Required,"Yes",Actual_Cost:Actual_Cost) – tracks remaining budget.
=IF(TODAY()>Due_Date, IF(Status<>"Published","OVERDUE","On Track"), "On Track") – flags overdue items in Status column via conditional logic.
=TEXT(Due_Date,"YYYY-WW") – auto-generates week number for inventory filtering.
=COUNTIFS(Content_Type:Content_Type,"Video",Status:Status,"In Progress") – counts ongoing video content to monitor workload balance.

Conditional Formatting

Status = “OVERDUE”: Red background with white text.
Budget_Allocated vs Actual_Cost > 15%: Yellow fill if actual spending exceeds allocation by 15%.
