Formulas Required

To ensure functionality, the template includes several key formulas:

=DATEDIF(A2, B2, "d"): Calculates days between start and end date (duration).
=IF(C2="Completed", 100%, IF(C2="In Progress", 50%, 0)): Estimates progress percentage based on status.
=IF(DATEVALUE(TODAY())>B2, "Overdue", IF(DATEVALUE(TODAY()): Flags overdue projects.


    =COUNTIF($E$2:$E$100,"In Use"): Counts total assets currently in use (for dashboard).
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(C2:C100="In Progress"), 1): Counts active projects.



Conditional Formatting Rules

The template uses conditional formatting to enhance visibility:

    Overdue Projects: Cells in the "Status" column turn red if end date is past today.
    High Priority Items: Rows with "High" priority highlight in yellow.
    Available Assets: Assets with status "Available" are highlighted in green.
    Progress Bars: In the timeline sheet, progress percentage is displayed as a horizontal bar using conditional formatting (bar color changes from blue to red based on %).
