• IF Statements: Used in status columns to assign "Achieved," "On Track," or "At Risk" based on thresholds.
• Conditional formatting rules (see below) apply automatically when values exceed or fall below targets.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance user interaction and visibility, the template applies the following conditional formatting:

• Status Column in Monthly Profit Tracker: If % of Target ≥ 80%, format as green; if between 50–79%, yellow; if <50%, red.
• Profit Values: Any profit above 1,000 USD is highlighted in light blue.
• Goal Progress Column: If progress > 90%, green; else if >50%, orange; otherwise red.
• Negative Profit (Loss): Automatically flagged with red background and warning text.
