=AND(Start_Date <= Date_Column, End_Date >= Date_Column). - Overdue Alert: Formula:
=IF(AND(Status<>"Completed", End_Date - Completion Rate: In Dashboard:
=COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Task_Name_Column) * 100

- Date Overlap Highlighting: Light gray bars in the timeline columns when a task is currently active.
