Table Structures and Columns (Habit Tracker - Daily Log)

The primary data input sheet is the Habit Tracker (Daily Log). This table captures detailed daily habit completion records.

Formulas Required

The Extended template leverages several advanced Excel functions to automate data processing and reporting:

• Auto-fill Client Name: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Client_ID, Client_Profiles!A:C, 2, FALSE), "Unknown")
• Daily Completion Rate: =COUNTIFS(Status_Column, "Yes") / COUNTA(Habit_Name_Column)
• Streak Counter: Uses a dynamic formula to track consecutive days completed. Example: =IF(AND(Status=TRUE, Previous_Status=TRUE), Previous_Streak+1, IF(Status=TRUE, 1, 0)) (requires helper columns and iterative logic).
• Monthly Average: =AVERAGEIFS(Habit_Status_Column, Date_Column, ">=StartOfMonth", Date_Column, "<=EndOfMonth")
• Pivot Table Source: The Progress Dashboard sheet uses a pivot table sourced from the Habit Tracker to aggregate data by client, category, and month.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance usability and insight at a glance, the following formatting rules are applied:

• Completed Habits: Green fill with checkmark icon (if using data bars or icons).
• Missed Days: Red background if status is "No" and date is within the last 7 days.
• Streak Progress: Color gradient from yellow (1–3 days) to orange (4–7 days) to red (>7 days).
• Average Completion Rate: Traffic light system: Green (>80%), Yellow (60–80%), Red (<60%).
• Dates: Highlight weekends in gray for visual distinction.
