Formulas Required

• Completion % in Study Planner: =IF(E2=0, 0, MIN(1, D2/E2))
  This prevents division errors and caps at 100%.

• Monthly Profit (Dashboard): =SUMIFS(ProfitTracker!$E:$E, ProfitTracker!$B:$B, "Income", ProfitTracker!$A:$A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), ProfitTracker!$A:$A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)) - SUMIFS(ProfitTracker!$E:$E, ProfitTracker!$B:$B, "Expense", ProfitTracker!$A:$A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), ProfitTracker!$A:$A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
• Total Study Hours This Month: =SUMIFS(StudyPlanner!$D:$D, StudyPlanner!$B:$B, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), StudyPlanner!$B:$B, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))

Conditional Formatting Rules
