• =SUMIFS(Service_Logs!F:F, Service_Logs!C:C, A2) – Total service duration per client.
• =COUNTIF(Task_Assignments!E:E,"=Overdue") – Number of overdue tasks.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, Client_Master!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Automatically populates contact info from the master sheet.
• =IF(ISBLANK(D3), "Pending", "Completed") – Auto-detects task status based on due date and completion.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Client Inactivity Alerts: Cells in the “Last Contact Date” column highlight red if over 60 days old.
• Overdue Tasks: In the Task Assignments sheet, cells with "Due Date" less than today are highlighted in orange.
• Prioritized Items: High-priority tasks are bolded and colored yellow in the task list.
• KPI Thresholds: The KPI dashboard uses green/yellow/red bars based on performance targets (e.g., >90% response rate = green).
