Formulas Required

Dashboards Summary KPIs:
• Total Study Hours Planned: =SUMIF(StudySchedule[Status], "Pending", StudySchedule[Hours to Prepare])
• Monthly Budget vs. Actual: =BudgetTracker!TotalIncome - SUM(BudgetTracker[Amount Spent])
• % of Goals Achieved: =COUNTIF(GoalSetting[Status], "Achieved")/COUNTA(GoalSetting[Status])
Automated Status Tracking:
• Due Date Alert (in Dashboard): =IF(TODAY() >= StudySchedule[Due Date], "Overdue", IF(TODAY() + 7 >= StudySchedule[Due Date], "Due Soon", ""))
Progress Bars:
• Percentage Completion (Goals): =Current Progress / Target Value → used in conditional formatting.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Overdue Assignments: Highlight rows in red if Due Date is earlier than today.
Budget Alerts: If any category exceeds 90% of its monthly budget (set via Goal Setting), apply yellow background; >100% = red.
Goal Progress: Use gradient color scale (green → yellow → red) based on % completion in Goal Setting sheet.
Status Indicators: Color-coded cells: Green for “Completed”, Blue for “In Progress”, Red for “Overdue”.
