Formulas Required for Dynamic Calculations

=TODAY(): Used in status update columns to auto-log daily entries.
=IF(E2="Completed", 0, (E3 - E2)): Calculates time elapsed between start and current date.
=NETWORKDAYS(B2, D2): Computes workdays between a start and due date to estimate completion time.
=IF(AND(C2="Urgent", B2: Flags urgent orders overdue for immediate attention.


    =SUMIFS(TimeLog!E:E, TimeLog!A:A, A2): Aggregates actual time spent per order from the Time Log sheet.
    =VLOOKUP(A2, OrderMaster!A:B, 2, FALSE): Links team member assignments to order descriptions.
