=IF(AND(Status="Completed", Date - Resource Availability Check: On the Resource Inventory sheet, uses:
=COUNTIFS(MainSchedule[Location], A2, MainSchedule[Status], "<>Completed")to count active bookings for a resource. - Schedule Conflict Detection:

The template uses advanced conditional formatting to enhance visual clarity:
- Status Highlighting: Red for "Cancelled", yellow for "In Progress", green for "Completed".
- Time-Based Color Coding: Past events turn gray; upcoming events are blue; today’s events use bold orange.
- Resource Availability Indicator: Green cell background if status = “Available”; red if “In Use” or “Under Maintenance”.
- Conflict Alerts: If the conflict detection formula returns "Conflict", the entire row turns bright red with bold text.
