To enhance visual tracking and highlight critical information:- Overdue Tasks: Highlight rows where Due Date is before TODAY() and Status ≠ "Completed" using red fill.
- Due Within 3 Days: Apply yellow fill to rows where Due Date is within 3 days of today.
- Status Colors: Use green for "Completed", orange for "In Progress", and gray for "Not Started".
- Budget Warning: If Actual Spend > Budget Allocated, highlight the cell in red with a warning icon.
