FIELDS AND FORMULAS REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATION & REPORTING

• Success Rate Calculation (in Summary Dashboard): =IFERROR(COUNTIFS(Data_Input!$C:$C, Client_Name, Data_Input!$F:$F, "Complete") / COUNTIFS(Data_Input!$C:$C, Client_Name), 0) This formula computes the percentage of days a habit was successfully completed.
• Weekly Progress Tracker (in Summary Dashboard): =SUMIFS(Data_Input!$F:$F, Data_Input!$A:$A, ">= "&StartOfWeek, Data_Input!$A:$A, "<= "&EndOfWeek)
• Client Status Indicator: =IF(Percentage >= 0.85, "On Track", IF(Percentage >= 0.65, "Improving", "Needs Support"))
• Conditional Formatting Rules (see below): • Green for ≥85% success rate
  • Yellow for 65–84%
  • Red for <65%

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to enhance visual interpretation:

• Data Input (Raw) Sheet:
  • Green fill for "Complete" status.
  • Amber fill for "Partial".
  • Light red for "Skipped".
• Summary Dashboard:
  • Data bars in the Success Rate column to visualize performance.
  • Color scales applied to trend charts (green-to-red gradient).
  • Circular icons (traffic lights) next to each client’s name indicating their status.
