FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Auto-increment Task ID: =IF(ISBLANK(A2), "", A1+1)
• Status Color Code: Conditional formatting based on status value (e.g., "Completed" → green).
• Overdue Task Detection: =IF(AND(Status="In Progress", TODAY()>DueDate), "Overdue", "")
• Task Completion Rate (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(TaskTracker[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(TaskTracker[Task ID]) * 100
• Meeting Conflict Alert: Formula in Resource Sheet to highlight overlapping bookings using =IF(COUNTIFS(…)=1, "OK", "Conflict").
• Next Available Time Slot: Uses MAX() and INDEX(MATCH()) functions to find the next open slot for resource booking.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

• Pending Tasks (Yellow): Highlight if status is "Pending" and due date is within 1 day.
• Overdue Tasks (Red): Apply if Status ≠ "Completed" and Due Date < TODAY().
• High Priority (Red Border): If Priority Level = 5, highlight entire row red.
• Merge Conflict Detection: Color cells red if two meetings are scheduled in the same room at the same time.
• Completed Tasks (Green Fill): Automatically applies when status is "Completed".
