Formulas Required
- ID Auto-Increment:
=ROW()-1(starts at row 2) - Status Color Indicator: Uses a nested IF to populate a color code cell:
=IF([@Status]="Completed","✅","") - Days Remaining:
=MAX(0,[@[Due Date]]-TODAY())– Calculates days until due date or how many are overdue. - Status Count Summary: Used in Dashboard sheet:
=COUNTIF(MainToDoList[Status], "Completed") - Priority Weighted Score: Assigns numeric weights (Low=1, Medium=2, High=3, Critical=4) and calculates total weighted tasks per team member.

- Critical Priority Bold Red: Any row with "Critical" priority has bold red text and a light red background.
- Status Color Bars: Green for Completed, Yellow for In Progress, Gray for On Hold — using data bars in adjacent column.
