FORMULAS REQUIRED

=IF(AND([Scheduled Start] < TODAY(), [Status]="Pending"), "Delayed", [Status]) – Auto-updates status based on current date.
=SUMIFS([Hours Worked], [Resource ID], $A2, [Date], ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1)) – Tracks weekly resource utilization.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP([Vehicle Assigned],[Vehicle Master Table],3,FALSE),"Unknown") – Pulls vehicle capacity and fuel efficiency.
=NETWORKDAYS([Scheduled Start], [Actual End]) – Calculates working days between milestones for SLA tracking.
=COUNTIFS([Status],"Delayed", [Priority Level],"Urgent") – Counts urgent delayed tasks for dashboard alerts.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

Status Column: Red fill for "Delayed", yellow for "In Progress", green for "Delivered".
Scheduled Start Date: Color scale based on proximity to today (red = overdue, orange = within 24h, green = future).
