=COUNTIFS(TripTracker!$F:$F, ">="&TODAY(), TripTracker!$F:$F, "<"&TODAY()+30) - Total Revenue Forecast:
=SUMPRODUCT(TripTracker!$H:$H, TripTracker!$E:$E)(total cost × number of travelers). - Status Distribution (Dashboard): Use
COUNTIFto tally clients in each status category.

=AND(D4>=TODAY(), D4 - Yellow Highlight: Trip Status = "In Progress"
- Green Highlight: Trip Status = "Completed"
