Table Structure & Data Schema

The primary data collection table is structured to support scalable enterprise data. The "Habit Log" sheet contains the following columns:

Selected from predefined habits in the "Habit Definitions" sheet (e.g., Daily Goal Setting, Weekly Reporting).

Binary flag indicating whether the habit was completed on that date.

Number of minutes spent on the habit, enabling efficiency tracking.

Optional comments for context or exceptions.

Timestamp of the last data entry modification; prevents outdated entries.

Formulas Required

• VLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH: To auto-populate "Name" and "Department" from the Employee Directory using the Employee ID.
• COUNTIFS & SUMIFS: Used on the Dashboard to calculate total habits completed per department, average completion time, and trend percentages.
• IF & AND logic: To flag incomplete habits that exceed 3 consecutive days without recording.
• DATEDIF function: Calculates tenure in days for employee analysis based on onboarding date.
• CONCATENATE or TEXTJOIN: For generating performance summaries in the Performance Analysis sheet.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Green checkmark for "Yes", red X for "No" (using icon sets).
• Completion Time > 30 min: Highlight in yellow to identify potentially inefficient habits.
• Consecutive Missed Habits: Apply a rule that flags three or more missing entries with red background.
• Department Average Comparison: Use color scales to show departmental performance relative to company average (green = above average, red = below).
