Key Formulas Used
- G2 (Actual Duration): =IF(OR(H2="",I2=""), "", (I2-H2)*24) – Converts time difference to decimal hours.
- Overtime Flag: =IF(G2 > F2*1.1, "Yes", "No") – Flags if actual exceeds planned by 10% or more.

- On-Time Rate (Weekly): =COUNTIF('Time Tracker'!J:J, "Completed") / COUNTA('Time Tracker'!C:C) – Calculated in Weekly Overview.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Column: Color-coding: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Delayed".
- Actual vs Planned: If G2 > F2, highlight cell in orange. If G2 > F2 * 1.1, use red background.
