3. Daily Performance Summary

This table compiles and calculates daily performance metrics across employees and habits using formulas.

Formulas Required

The following formulas are critical for automation:

• Auto-fill Employee Name (Habit Tracker):
  =VLOOKUP([@Employee ID], 'Employee Master List'!$A:$E, 2, FALSE)
• Daily Habit Completion Rate (Daily Performance Summary):
  =COUNTIFS('Habit Tracker (Daily Log)'!$B:$B, [@Employee ID], 'Habit Tracker (Daily Log)'!$D:$D, "Yes") / COUNTIF('Habit Tracker (Daily Log)'!$B:$B, [@Employee ID])
  This calculates the percentage of habits completed per employee per day.
• Weekly Habit Average (Monthly Trends):
  =AVERAGEIFS('Daily Performance Summary'!$F:$F, 'Daily Performance Summary'!$A:$A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), 'Daily Performance Summary'!$A:$A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
  Provides average habit compliance for a given month.
• Department-Wide Trend (Dashboard):
  Use PivotTable with "Department" in rows, "Date" in columns, and "Average Completion Rate" as values.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight performance trends:

• Habit Completion Status (Yes/No): Use color scales—green for "Yes", red for "No".
• Daily Completion Rate (Daily Performance Summary): Apply data bars to visualize consistency. 90%+ = dark green; 70%-89% = yellow; below 70% = red.
• Monthly Average Comparison (Dashboard): Highlight months where performance dropped by >10% vs. previous month using icon sets.
