Formulas Required

The following formulas power the dynamic functionality of the template:

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data interpretation, conditional formatting is applied across the template:

• Profit Highlighting: Cells in the Profit per Task column turn green if profit > $0, yellow if between $0 and -$50, and red if loss.
• Time Thresholds: Tasks taking over 4 hours are highlighted in orange for review.
• Category-Based Color Coding: Different colors assigned per category (e.g., Blue = Sales, Green = Development, Red = Admin).
• Status Indicators: Completed tasks have a green background with text "✅"; Ongoing tasks in light blue.
