Formulas Required

• Status Update (Auto): Use a formula in the Status column: =IF(F2>=90,"Completed",IF(F2>=50,"In Progress","Pending")) for automated status classification.
• Count of Active Goals: In the Summary sheet, use =COUNTIFS(Daily Goals Log!$D:$D,"*Productivity*", Daily Goals Log!$G:$G,"In Progress") to count active productivity goals.
• Daily Usage Duration: In the Usage log, calculate time difference using: =IF(End Time="", "", TIMEVALUE(End Time) - TIMEVALUE(Start Time)) to show hours worked.
• Asset Value Sum: Use =SUMIF(Asset Inventory!$H:$H,"Active", Asset Inventory!$I:$I) in the Dashboard to total active assets' value.
• Weekly Goal Completion Rate: =AVERAGEIFS(Daily Goals Log!$F:$F, Daily Goals Log!$A:$A,">="&TODAY()-7, Daily Goals Log!$A:$A,"<="&TODAY()) — calculates average progress for the past week.
