All financial columns use numeric data types with currency formatting (e.g., $1,500.00). Task dates are in Date/Time format.

• Gross Profit = Revenue – Total Costs
• Use VLOOKUP to link task details with project profitability data.
• Dynamic formulas use IF statements to flag negative margins or overdue tasks.
