Formulas Required for Automation & Tracking

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to enable automatic tracking and analytics:

• Countifs(): To tally completed tasks vs. total tasks on the Daily Planner.

• High Focus Level: Focus values ≥4.5 are highlighted in green.
• Exam Countdowns: Cells with fewer than 7 days until an exam are highlighted in orange; less than 3 days, turn red.
• Progress Bars: Data bars applied to "Completed / Total Assignments" columns for visual progress tracking.
