Sheet Names and Organization

The template consists of three primary worksheets that ensure clarity and functionality:

1. Dashboard (Overview): Central hub for real-time visual insights into habit performance. Displays KPIs, charts, and summary data.
2. Habit Tracker Log: Main input sheet where users record daily progress on 15 pre-defined administrative habits.

The core of the template is the Habit Tracker Log sheet. It uses a structured table (Excel Table object) with these columns:

Note: All habit columns are formatted as checkboxes for intuitive user interaction, and data is stored as TRUE/FALSE. This simplifies analysis and visual feedback.

Formulas Required

The template leverages several key Excel formulas to automate calculations, ensure data integrity, and support the dashboard:

• =IF(ISBLANK([@Date]), "", TEXT([@Date], "mmm dd, yyyy")) – Formats date for readability.
• =COUNTIFS(HabitTrackerLog[Date], ">= "&TODAY()-30, HabitTrackerLog[Employee ID], [@Employee ID]) – Counts total entries in last 30 days for rolling stats.
• =SUMPRODUCT(--(HabitTrackerLog[[#All],[Habit 1]:[Habit 15]])) / COUNT(HabitTrackerLog[Date]) – Calculates average daily habit completion rate.
• =IFERROR(VLOOKUP([@Employee ID], EmployeeDatabase!A:B, 2, FALSE), "Not Found") – Pulls employee name from external HR data (optional).
• =COUNTIFS(HabitTrackerLog[Habit 1: Respond to Urgent Emails within 30 min], TRUE, HabitTrackerLog[Date], ">="&TODAY()-7) – Counts completed habits in the past week.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and identify trends quickly, the template applies conditional formatting across key areas:

• Daily Completion Rate (Dashboard): Color scale (green-yellow-red) based on percentage completion. >90% = green, 70–89% = yellow, <70% = red.
• Individual Habit Rows: Highlight entire row in light blue if all habits completed for the day.
• Missing Dates: Highlights blank cells in date column with a red border and warning icon (data validation).
• Habit Completion Rate Trends: Uses sparklines to visualize weekly completion rates directly within the dashboard.
