=IF(DueDate – Flags overdue tasks automatically.


    =SUMIFS(Estimated Hours, Status, "In Progress") – Tracks current workload.
    =AVERAGE(Rating) – Computes average team feedback score per team member.
    =TEXT(MONTH(Date), "00") & "/" & TEXT(YEAR(Date), "0000") – Standardizes date formatting.
    =COUNTIF(Attendees, "*"&"Sarah Chen"&"*") – Counts how many meetings Sarah attends.



CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
The template applies conditional formatting to highlight key data points:

    Overdue Tasks: Cells with overdue tasks are highlighted in red.
    High Priority Tasks: Highlighted in orange with bold text.
    Poor Ratings (1–2): Indicated by yellow background with warning icon.
    Metric Thresholds: Completion rate below 70% triggers a red warning bar in the dashboard.
