Employee Name Lookup: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, Employee_Master_List!$A:$H, 2, FALSE), "Unknown") – Used in Assignment Log to auto-fill employee names.
Project Status Indicator: =IF(B2<=TODAY(), IF(C2>TODAY(), "In Progress", "Completed"), "Not Started") – Automatically updates project status based on current date.
Total Workload per Employee: =SUMIFS(Assignment_Log!$F:$F, Assignment_Log!$B:$B, A2) – Calculates total weekly hours assigned to each employee.
Project Completion Percentage: =IFERROR((TODAY()-D2)/(E2-D2), 0) – Estimates progress based on timeline (for visualization).

Conditional Formatting Rules

Pending Deadlines: Highlight rows in Project Tracker where End Date is within 7 days using: =AND(E2-TODAY()<=7, E2>=TODAY())
Overloaded Employees: Apply red fill to cells in Assignment Log if total hours exceed 40 per week: =F2 > 40
Status Indicators: Use color scales or icon sets for Project Status column (e.g., red ⛔ = Delayed, yellow ⚠️ = On Hold, green ✅ = Completed)
