  • Auto-populate dates: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1)+COLUMN(A1)-1 – Fills the calendar grid with correct daily dates.
  • Status tracking: =IF(COUNTIF('Daily Task Tracker'!$F:$F,"✓")=COUNTA('Daily Task Tracker'!$F:$F),"Complete","In Progress") – Determines task completion rate.
  • Overdue detection: =IF(AND(A2 – Flags pending tasks from past dates.

  • Prioritization scoring: =IF(E2="High",3,IF(E2="Medium",2,1)) – Converts text priorities to numerical values for analysis.

  • Overdue Tasks: Highlight in red if the task date is earlier than today AND status is incomplete.
  • Priority High Tasks: Apply yellow background with bold text for tasks marked as "High" priority.
  • Budget Thresholds: Green fill when expenses are below 80% of budget; orange at 80–95%; red if over budget.
