Required Formulas (Key Examples)
The template leverages simple yet effective Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual input errors:
- Daily Completion Count:
=COUNTIF(B2:Z2, TRUE) → Counts how many chores were completed on a given day.
- Points Calculation:
=SUMIFS('Chores & Tasks'!F:F, 'Chores & Tasks'!A:A, "C001") * (IF(B2=TRUE,1,0)) → Sums points per task based on completion.
- Weekly Average:
=AVERAGEIFS('Daily Tracker'!D:D, 'Daily Tracker'!A:A, ">=start_date", 'Daily Tracker'!A:A, "<=end_date")
- Streak Counter: A custom formula using nested IF and COUNTIF to detect consecutive days with ≥5 completed chores.
- Completion Rate (%):
=COUNTIF(Chore_Columns, TRUE) / COUNTA(Chore_Columns) * 100
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance usability and highlight important data trends:
- Green Fill (Cell): If a chore is marked as "Completed" (Yes). Helps with visual scanning.
- Red Text: If the completion rate for a week falls below 70%.
