=IF(AND(TimeEntries[Start Time]<>""; TimeEntries[End Time]<>""); (TimeEntries[End Time]-TimeEntries[Start Time])*24 - (TimeEntries[Break Duration]/60); 0) – Computes net working hours per entry, subtracting break time.
=VLOOKUP(Employee ID; EmployeeDirectory!A:D; 2; FALSE) – Pulls employee name from directory.
=SUMIFS(TimeEntries[Net Hours], TimeEntries[Billable?], "Yes") – Sums billable hours by condition.
=TEXT(SUM(Net Hours), "h:mm") – Formats total hours as readable hh:mm.

Over 8-hour workday: Highlight entries with net hours > 8.0 in yellow fill.
Billing threshold: Mark billable hours over 60% of total as green; below 40% as red.
