Sheet Structure

The template comprises six distinct sheets:

• 1. Data Entry (Daily Logs): The primary input sheet for daily habit tracking by client.
• 2. Summary Dashboard: Centralized visual overview of all clients’ habit performance.
• 3. Individual Client Report (Template): A pre-formatted page to generate individualized reports based on selected data.
• 4. Habit List & Categories: Master list of tracked habits, their categories, goals, and notes.
• 5. Weekly & Monthly Overview: Aggregated views for weekly and monthly habit streaks and completion rates.
• 6. Instructions & Guide: Step-by-step user guide with explanations of formulas, formatting rules, and best practices.

Table Structures & Columns (Data Entry Sheet)

The core data entry sheet is structured as a relational table to support efficient filtering, sorting, and formula integration.

Description: Automatic calculation of consecutive days completed using a formula (see below).

Formulas Required

• Habit Category Lookup: Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull category from the "Habit List & Categories" sheet based on the selected habit name.
• Streak Count (H): Formula using a combination of OFFSET, COUNTIF, and IF statements:

  =IF(F2="Yes", 
      IF(ROW()=2, 1,
          IF(F1="Yes", H1+1, 1)), 
      0)

  This formula tracks consecutive days completed per habit per client.
• Completion Rate (Per Client & Habit): Use AVERAGEIF and COUNTIFS to calculate percentage of successful entries:

  =COUNTIFS(B:B, B2, F:F, "Yes") / COUNTIFS(B:B, B2) * 100

• Active Streak (Current): Formula to identify current streak for the most recent entry.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Daily Status: Color-code completed days in green and missed days in red using conditional formatting based on the "Status" column.
• Streak Highlights: Apply gradient fill to highlight streak counts (e.g., 3+ days = yellow, 7+ = orange, 14+ = green).
• Data Entry Validation: Use data validation rules to enforce drop-down lists for Habit and Category columns.
• Duplicate Entry Detection: Highlight duplicate date-client-habit combinations using a formula-based rule to prevent double-entry errors.
