Formulas Required

The template includes several dynamic formulas to enhance usability:

=DATEDIF(B3, C3, "d"): Calculates the total number of days between start and end dates (for duration estimation).
=IF(D3="In Progress", "✅", IF(D3="Completed", "✔️", IF(D3="Not Started", "⏳"))) : Uses conditional logic to display visual indicators in the status column.
=ROUND((E3/100)*100, 2): Ensures progress percentage is always displayed as a number between 0 and 100.
=IF(AND(B3TODAY()), "Due Soon", IF(C3: Flags tasks that are overdue or approaching due dates.



Conditional Formatting Rules
The template applies smart conditional formatting to improve visual tracking:

    Color-coded progress bars: Cells with progress values > 80% show green; 50–80% show yellow; <50% show red.
    Status highlights: "In Progress" cells are shaded light blue, "Completed" in green, and "Overdue" in red.
    Due date alerts: Any row where the end date is within 7 days of today turns the row background orange.
    High-priority projects: Rows with priority "High" are bolded and highlighted in purple for visibility.
