Sheet Names and Purpose

• Monthly Summary: Automatically aggregates daily entries from the Daily Log into monthly totals and averages for key categories (e.g., water usage, exercise duration).
• Weekly Overview: Compiles weekly summaries of activities, highlighting trends and progress across the week.
• Dashboard: A visual analytics hub that displays key performance indicators (KPIs), charts, and summary statistics based on collected data.

Table Structures and Column Definitions

Daily Log – Core Data Collection Table

This table is the heart of the Data Collection process. Each row represents one day’s worth of entries. The structure is optimized for speed and clarity.

Formulas Used for Automation and Analysis

• Auto-Date Entry: In cell A2, use =TODAY(). This ensures every new row starts with the correct date.
• Daily Average Sleep Score: On the Monthly Summary sheet, use =AVERAGEIFS('Daily Log'!C:C,'Daily Log'!A:A,">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1),'Daily Log'!A:A,"<"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)+1) to calculate average sleep quality for the current month.
• Weekly Step Total: In the Weekly Overview, use =SUMIFS('Daily Log'!D:D,'Daily Log'!A:A,">="&TODAY()-7,'Daily Log'!A:A,"<"&TODAY()).
• Chore Completion Rate: In the Dashboard, calculate percentage of chores completed: =COUNTIF('Daily Log'!H:H,">=1") / COUNTA('Daily Log'!H:H).
• Daily Expense Total (Monthly): Use =SUMIFS('Daily Log'!I:I,'Daily Log'!A:A,">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1),'Daily Log'!A:A,"<"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)+1).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and enable quick visual insights, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Sleep Quality (≤ 2): Red background with white text.
• Average Sleep (3–4): Yellow background.
• High Sleep (5): Green background with dark green text.
• Sleeping Less Than 6 Hours: Highlight entire row in orange if time spent sleeping is below 6 hours (e.g., using a formula like =AND($C2<=4, $B2<30)).
• Daily Step Goal (10,000): If steps exceed or match 10,000, apply a green border and bold text.
• Daily Expense Above Budget: Highlight rows where expense exceeds $50 with red font and bold.
