Formulas Required for Automation

• =COUNTIF(D3:J3, "✓") → Calculates number of completed tasks per client per week (in the daily status columns).
• =ROUND((COUNTIF(D3:J3, "✓") / COUNTA(D3:J3)) * 100, 1) → Computes weekly completion rate as a percentage.
• =COUNTIF(ChoreTracking!D:D, ClientID) → Pulls total task count from the main sheet for summary reporting.
• =SUMPRODUCT((ClientID = "C103") * (Status = "✓")) → Calculates total completed chores for a specific client across multiple entries.
• =IF(AVERAGE(CompletionRates) >= 90%, "Excellent", IF(AVERAGE(CompletionRates) >= 75%, "Good", IF(AVERAGE(CompletionRates) >= 60%, "Needs Improvement", "Poor"))) → Auto-rates performance.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Completed Task (✓): Green background with checkmark font.
• Missed Task (✗ or blank): Light red background with a red X symbol.
