A2 = IF(ROW(A1)=1, "Task ID", ROW()-1) (for header row): Auto-increments Task IDs.
IF(H2="Completed", 1, 0): For tracking completion metrics on the Dashboard.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and identify critical items:

Status Column (H): Color-coded: Red for "Delayed", Green for "Completed", Orange for "In Progress".
Priority Column (J): Highlighted with bold borders and color fills—Red (High), Yellow (Medium), Grey (Low).
Date & Time Columns: Background shading on weekends or over-scheduled times.
