=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusRange): Calculates overall completion percentage for the dashboard.
=IF(AND([Status]="In Progress", [Due Date]-TODAY()<=3), "Urgent", IF([Due Date]-TODAY()<=1, "Critical", "")): Flags high-priority upcoming tasks.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

Dynamic visual cues enhance readability:

Overdue Tasks: Red background with white text.

Critical Priority: Bold red font and flashing icon.
Status Progress Bar: Color-coded bars (green for completed, red for overdue).
