Table Structures and Columns

Chore Tracker (Daily):

Growth Goals Dashboard:

Formulas Required

• Status Color Coding Logic: Uses IFS formula to assign status color: =IFS(Status="Completed", "Green", Status="Skipped", "Red", Status="In Progress", "Yellow") applied via conditional formatting.
• Completion Rating Average: =AVERAGEIF(ChoreTracker[Chore Name], [Current Chores], ChoreTracker[Completion Rating])
• Progress % Calculation: For each goal, use COUNTIFS to tally completed chores matching the goal's task ID, divided by total target tasks: =COUNTIFS(ChoreTracker[Chore Name], "Run 5K*", ChoreTracker[Status], "Completed") / TotalTasks * 100
• Streak Counter: Uses a dynamic formula based on date continuity: =IFERROR(IF(AND(DATE(TODAY()-1)=TODAY()-1, Status="Completed"), Streak+1, 1), 0)
• Reward Eligibility: =IF(AND(CurrentStreak>=7, CompletionRating>=4), "Eligible for Reward", "Not Yet")

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Color-coded (Green = Completed, Red = Skipped, Yellow = In Progress).
• Completion Rating: 1–2 stars in red, 3 in yellow, 4–5 in green.
• Actual Time vs. Target Time: Highlight if actual exceeds target by >15% (using data bars or fill color).
• Growth Goals Dashboard: Progress bar fills based on percentage (0% = empty, 100% = full).
