Formulas Required

=SUMIFS(OperationsTracker!$D:$D, OperationsTracker!$B:$B, "Finance", OperationsTracker!$A:$A, ">="&StartDate, OperationsTracker!$A:$A, "<="&EndDate) – Aggregates costs by department and date.
=IF(Revenue - Cost > 0, "Profitable", "Loss") – Conditional status flag for each operation.
=AVERAGEIFS(OperationsTracker!$E:$E, OperationsTracker!$F:$F, "<>""") – Average time per task with non-blank revenue.
=COUNTIFS(OperationsTracker!$G:$G, "Completed", OperationsTracker!$A:$A, ">="&TODAY()-30) – Tracks completed operations in the last 30 days.
=VLOOKUP(EmployeeName, EmployeeDatabase!$A:$B, 2, FALSE) – Auto-assigns job title or rate based on employee name.

Conditional Formatting

Status Column: Green for "Completed", Red for "Cancelled", Yellow for "In Progress".
Cost Incurred ($): Color scale from green (low) to red (high) based on departmental benchmarks.
