The following formulas are embedded to automate functionality:

=IF(C4="", "", IF(D4="High", "🔴", IF(D4="Medium", "🟡", "🟢"))) – Dynamically colors priority level.
=IF(E4 – Flags overdue tasks in red.


    =IF(F4="Completed", 100, IF(G4="In Progress", 75, IF(G4="Pending", 0, 25))) – Estimates completion percentage based on status.
    =HOUR(E6) + MINUTE(E6)/60 – Calculates total time blocks in hours (if used with time input).
