FORMULAS REQUIRED

To ensure dynamic functionality and automation:

Auto-generated Task ID: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000")
Overdue Status Detection: =IF(AND([@Due Date]<TODAY(),[@Status]<>"Completed"), "Overdue", "")
Days Until Due: =MAX(0, [@Due Date] - TODAY())
Completion Percentage (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "Completed") / COUNTA(StatusColumn) * 100
Total Estimated Hours by Subject: Use SUMIFS() to sum all estimated hours per subject.
Daily Study Duration Sum (Progress Logs): Use a pivot table or SUMIF() with date ranges.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance visual clarity and usability:

Overdue Tasks: Apply red fill with white text to any row where Due Date is earlier than TODAY() and Status ≠ Completed.
Prioritized Tasks: Use color scales: High Priority = Bright Red; Medium = Orange; Low = Light Green.
Upcoming Deadlines: Highlight tasks due within 3 days in yellow with bold text.
Progress Bars (Dashboard): Use data bars to visualize completion percentage and time spent vs. estimated hours.
