Formulas Required for Automation & Data Collection

• =IF(ISBLANK(ChoresList!$B$2), "", "Chore List Valid"): Ensures the chore list is populated before data entry.
• =COUNTIFS(DailyTracker!C:C, "✅", DailyTracker!C:C, ">0"): Counts completed tasks per user per day.
• =SUMPRODUCT(--(DailyTracker!B2:B31="✅"), --(ChoresList!D:D=15)): Calculates total points for a given date and user.
• =AVERAGEIF(DailyTracker!B:B, "✅", DailyTracker!C:C): Computes average completion rate across all users.
• =SUMIFS(ChoresList!$D:$D, ChoresList!$C:$C, "Weekly", ChoresList!$E:$E, "Alex"): Total weekly points earned by a user.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data visualization and immediate feedback:

• Green Fill & Checkmark Icon (✅): For completed chores in Daily Tracker sheets.
• Red Background & X (❌): For overdue or missed chores, triggered by date comparison.
• Gradient Scale: In Monthly Overview sheet to highlight top-performing users based on points earned.
• Data Bars: Applied in Dashboard charts to visually compare user performance over time.

Instructions for Users

1. Setup Phase: Open the template and go to the Settings & Configuration sheet. Enter names of all household members under "User List" and customize point values or frequencies if needed.
2. Add Chores: In the Chores List, add each task with its frequency, points, and assigned person. Use auto-fill to duplicate templates.
3. Daily Tracking: Each day, open the corresponding monthly tracker (e.g., January) and mark chores as completed (✅). Users may use a simple "X" or checkmark icon.
4. Weekly Review: Navigate to the Weekly Summary sheet weekly to see performance metrics and assign rewards based on points earned.
5. Analyze Monthly Trends: Review the Monthly Overview, then explore interactive charts in the Dashboards & Reports.
6. Maintain Data Integrity: Avoid deleting rows in the Chores List or Daily Tracker sheets. Use filtering and sorting instead.
