• Status Updates: Formula-driven status like:

  =IF(TODAY() > D2, "Overdue", IF(TODAY() = D2, "Due Today", "On Track"))

• Task Completion Rate: In the Daily Task Tracker, use:

  =COUNTIF(G:G,"Completed") / COUNTA(A:A) * 100

  to calculate completion percentage.
• Monthly Summary: Use of SUMIFS() and COUNTIFS() in the Financial Dashboard to aggregate expenses per category.
• Conditional Alerts: Formulas in the Weekly Calendar flag overlapping events or missing entries using logical checks.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Due Dates: Red text for overdue, yellow for due within 3 days, green for future dates.
• Status Columns: Color-coded cells—green for “Completed,” red for “Overdue,” gray for “Pending.”
• Maintenance Sheet: Highlight rows where the next due date is within the current month using conditional formatting with formula:
