Use a formula like:=IF(A2="", "MARK-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000"), A2)in cell A2 (assuming A1 is the header). This automatically assigns unique IDs as new rows are added. - Days Until Due:
In a new column (e.g., Column K):=DAYS(TODAY(), E2)– Calculates remaining days until the due date. - Status Color Coding:

=COUNTA('Orders Tracker'!A2:A100) - Completed Orders:
=COUNTIF('Orders Tracker'!G2:G100, "Completed") - Overdue Orders:
=COUNTIFS('Orders Tracker'!E2:E100, "<"&TODAY(), 'Orders Tracker'!G2:G100, "<>Cancelled")
- Total Orders:
Conditional Formatting
