Sheet Names

The template includes the following sheets:

• Goal Setting Dashboard – A high-level summary view showing overall progress, goal status, and team performance metrics.
• Habit Tracker (Manager View) – The core data sheet where each individual’s daily habits are logged with goal alignment and tracking.
• Goal Progress by Employee – A pivot-style table that aggregates habit completion rates across individuals and departments.

Table Structures & Data Types

The main data structure in the Habit Tracker (Manager View) sheet is a dynamic table that organizes habit data across individuals, goals, and days. The core table has the following columns:

All data types are carefully defined:

• Text Fields: Employee ID, Name, Habit Name, Notes – for descriptive clarity.
• Date Fields: Target Date Range and Date Logged – validated via Excel date validation.
• Boolean/Checkmark: Daily Completion Log (✓ or ✗) used as input for automated scoring.
• Numeric: Completion Score (%) derived from formulas; stored as decimal (e.g., 0.85).

Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of Excel formulas to automatically calculate performance metrics:

• Completion Score Formula: =IF(COUNTIF(D3:D100,"✓") / COUNTA(D3:D100) > 0.8, 100, (COUNTIF(D3:D100,"✓") / COUNTA(D3:D100)) * 100) – Calculates percentage completion based on days logged and completed.
• Weekly Average: =AVERAGEIFS(E3:E7, F3:F7, ">= "&TEXT(TODAY()-7,"YYYY-MM-DD"), F3:F7, "<="&TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY-MM-DD")) – Measures weekly habit consistency.
• Goal Status Flag: =IF(G3="Completed", "On Track", IF(G3="Partial", "Needs Support", "At Risk")) – Determines performance tier for reporting.
• Total Habit Count per Employee: =COUNTA(H2:H100) – Counts total habits assigned.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To visually enhance data interpretation, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Status Column (G3:G100): - Green background if "Completed" (90%+ completion). - Yellow if "Partial" (50–89%). - Red if "Missed" or below 50%. This aids quick visual assessment.
• Completion Score Column (H3:H100): - Gradient fill from green (90%) to red (<50%), with yellow in between.
• Date Log Column: - Highlighted if the day is within the target range; otherwise, grayed out.
• Goal Category Column: - Color-coded: Blue for Productivity, Green for Health, Orange for Social Engagement.
