=NOW() – Auto-populates last update timestamps in all sheets.
=IF(AND(DueDate – Flags overdue tasks with no progress.


    =IF(Progress% < 50, "Needs Attention", IF(Progress% > 80, "On Track", "In Progress")) – Status labeling for clarity.
    =VLOOKUP(ProjectID, Projects!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Links task projects to project details.



Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and alert team members:

    Due Date Alerts: Cells in "Due Date" column turn red if today is past the due date.
    Priority Highlighting: High and Critical priority tasks are shaded orange; medium — yellow.
    Progress Indicators: Tasks with progress < 30% are highlighted in red; 70%+ in green.
    Status-Based Colors: "In Progress" → blue, "Completed" → green, "On Hold" → gray.
    Overdue Task Flags: Rows with overdue and incomplete status get bold red text and background highlighting.
