Table Structures & Data Types

The core of the template is the Weekly Goals Tracker, a structured table with dynamic columns that support different data types:

Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates:

• =TEXT(DATEVALUE($E$1) + DAY(ROW(A1)-1), "dddd"): Automatically populates day names (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).
• =IF(F2="Completed", 100, IF(F2="In Progress", 60, IF(F2="Pending", 0), 5)): Calculates a daily score based on status.
• =SUMIFS(G:G, F:F, "Completed") / COUNTA($F$2:$F$7) * 100: Computes average progress percentage across all days.
• =IF(COUNTIF(G:G, "*%") > 0, "Progress Recorded", "No Progress"): Checks if any goal has a progress entry.
• =SUM(K2:K7): Totals daily scores for weekly performance rating.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues are used to highlight key information:

• Status Cells (Column F):
  • Green – "Completed"
  • Yellow – "In Progress"
  • Red – "Pending"
• Progress % Column (G):
  • >80% → Light green background
  • 40–80% → Yellow background
  • <40% → Red background
• Daily Score Column (H):
  • >8 → Green (excellent)
  • 5–8 → Yellow (good)
