=End_Date - Start_Date - Progress (%): In Summary View, use:
=IF(COUNTIFS(Tasks!$C:$C, Summary!A2, Tasks!$F:$F, "Completed")=0, 0, COUNTIFS(Tasks!$C:$C, Summary!A2, Tasks!$F:$F, "Completed") / COUNTIF(Tasks!$C:$C, Summary!A2)) - Assigned Hours (Resource Sheet):
=SUMIFS(Tasks!$H:$H, Tasks!$G:$G, A2)(where A2 is the resource name)
Conditional Formatting
- Highlight overdue tasks in red if End Date < Today.
- Color-code status columns: Red for "Not Started", Yellow for "In Progress", Green for "Completed".
