Formulas Required

• =COUNTIFS(Performance!D:D,"Completed", Performance!G:G,">0"): Counts completed tasks with time spent.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues enhance usability and performance tracking:

• Status column (green/yellow/red): Green = Completed, Yellow = In Progress, Red = Delayed.
• Time Spent > 4 hours → Highlight in orange with bold text.
• Mood Rating < 3 → Background turns light red for attention.
• Priority Level = Urgent → Row turns yellow with bold font.
• Goal Achievement = Yes → Text in green and underlined.
