• =(AVERAGEIFS(Time_Column, Status_Column,"Completed")): Computes average time per completed chore.

Conditional Formatting

The Professional style incorporates intelligent visual feedback through conditional formatting:

  • Green for "Completed"
  • Yellow for "Pending"
  • Red for "Overdue"

  • Purple if below 70%
  • Blue if between 70–90%
