Overdue Return Dates: Highlight red if "Expected Return Date" is earlier than today and "Status During Trip" ≠ 'Returned'.
Damaged Assets: Apply yellow fill for any asset flagged as “Damaged” in the Status Log.
Budget Thresholds: Green if under 80% of budget; Yellow (80–100%); Red (>100%) in the Budget Tracker sheet.
