The template uses advanced conditional formatting to visually manage priorities and trends:

• Priority Level Coloring: High = Red, Medium = Yellow, Low = Green.
• Status Indicators: Completed tasks appear in dark green with a checkmark icon; overdue tasks are highlighted in bright red.
• Budget Alerts: If monthly spending exceeds 80% of budget, the cell background turns orange; at 95%, it turns red.
