TABLE STRUCTURE & COLUMNS (Habit Tracker - Daily)

The Habit Tracker (Daily) sheet is the operational heart of the system. It uses a structured table with the following columns:

FORMULAS REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATION & ANALYSIS

To maintain accuracy and reduce manual errors, the following formulas are implemented across the sheets:

• Employee Name Lookup (Habit Tracker):
  =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Employee ID, 'Employee Master List'!$A$2:$D$100, 2, FALSE), "Unknown")
  Automatically pulls employee names based on Employee ID.
• Days Tracked (Weekly Summary):
  =COUNTIF('Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$A:$A, A2)
  Counts the number of entries for each employee per week.
• Completion Rate (Weekly Summary):
  =SUMIFS('Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$F:$F, 'Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$A:$A, A2, 'Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$E:$E, "Complete") / COUNTIF('Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$A:$A, A2)
  Calculates percentage of completed habits.
• Average Actual Time vs. Target (Monthly Dashboard):
  =AVERAGEIFS('Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$F:$F, 'Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$C:$C, "Focus & Productivity")
  Compares actual effort against planned effort.
• Consistency Score (Monthly Dashboard):
  =COUNTIFS('Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$A:$A, B2, 'Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$E:$E, "Complete") / COUNTIFS('Habit Tracker (Daily)'!$A:$A, B2)
  Measures consistency in habit completion.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING FOR VISUAL CLARITY

To enhance readability and highlight key performance indicators, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Green fill with white text for "Complete" status.
• Yellow fill with dark orange text for "Partial" status.
• Red fill with white text for "Incomplete" status.
• Data bars in the Actual Time column to visualize effort distribution.
• Icon sets (green checkmark, yellow triangle, red X) based on completion rate per employee.
