Sheet Names

• 1. Habit Tracker (Daily Log): The central data entry sheet where users record daily habit completion.
• 2. Weekly Summary: Automatically aggregates data from the Daily Log to show weekly performance metrics.

• 4. Client Dashboard (Visual Report): A visually intuitive dashboard featuring charts and KPIs for client presentation.

Table Structures & Columns (Habit Tracker - Daily Log Sheet)

The primary sheet, Habit Tracker (Daily Log), is structured as a clean table with the following columns:

The table starts in Row 5, with headers in Row 4. Data entry is designed to be quick—users only need to select a date (or it auto-fills), choose a habit from the drop-down, mark status, and optionally add notes.

Formulas Required

Several dynamic formulas are embedded across sheets to ensure automation and reduce manual work:

• Date Auto-fill (Daily Log): Uses =TODAY() in the first cell, then a formula like =IF(ROW()-4=1, TODAY(), IF(INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-1)="", "", INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-1)+1)) to increment dates automatically.
• Weekly Completion Rate (Weekly Summary): Uses =COUNTIFS(HabitTracker!B:B, "Completed", HabitTracker!A:A, ">= "&StartDate, HabitTracker!A:A, "<= "&EndDate)/COUNTIFS(HabitTracker!B:B, "<>", HabitTracker!A:A, ">= "&StartDate)*100 to calculate % of habits completed in the week.
• Streak Counter (Monthly Overview): Applies a dynamic streak formula using nested SUMIFS and COUNTIF, e.g., for consecutive days with “Completed” status: =IF(HabitTracker!C2="Completed", IF(HabitTracker!C1="Completed", [PreviousStreak]+1, 1), 0).
• Monthly Completion Rate (Client Dashboard): Aggregates data from the Monthly Overview sheet using =AVERAGEIFS(...) to show overall habit adherence across all tracked habits.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and client engagement, the template includes strategic conditional formatting:

• Habit Status Highlighting: Green fill for “Completed” (✓), red for “Not Completed” (✗).
• Streak Indicator: Cells with 7+ consecutive completed habits are highlighted in gold.
• Weekly Summary Heatmap: Color scales applied to the completion rate cells: green for >80%, yellow for 60–80%, red below 60%.
• Date Formatting: Weekends (Saturday/Sunday) are highlighted in light gray.
