Formulas Required

The template leverages several powerful formulas to automate tracking and analysis:

VLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH: Auto-populate employee name, department, and role from the Employee Master List based on the Employee ID.
SUMIFS: Calculate total completed habits per employee per category (e.g., sum of "Yes" values where Department = "Marketing").
COUNTIFS: Count number of days each habit was attempted and completed.
AVERAGEIF: Compute average habit completion rate across all employees in a department.
PivotTable Integration: Used in the Monthly Summary and Quarterly Report sheets to dynamically group, filter, and analyze data.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual insight and quickly identify performance trends:

Habit Completion Rate (Color Scale): Green (≥80%), Yellow (60–79%), Orange (40–59%), Red (<40%). Applied to the completion percentage column.
Missed Days Highlighting: Red fill for dates where a habit was not completed, especially when multiple consecutive misses occur.
Employee Ranking: Conditional formatting based on total completed habits—top performers get green stripes, below-average get red.
