Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas across sheets:

Completion Rate Calculation: =COUNTIF('Daily Chores Log'!F:F,"Completed") / COUNTA('Daily Chores Log'!A:A) * 100
Weekly Performance Summary (by category): Use SUMIFS() to aggregate total time spent per category: =SUMIFS('Daily Chores Log'!E:E, 'Daily Chores Log'!C:C, "Health", 'Daily Chores Log'!A:A, ">=01/04/2025", 'Daily Chores Log'!A:A, "<=07/04/2025")
Goal Progress Update (in Growth Planning sheet): Use COUNTIF() to count completed chores linked to a goal ID: =COUNTIF('Daily Chores Log'!G:G, "*"&[GoalID]&"*")
Conditional Status Coloring (via formula-driven formatting): Use a helper column to flag overdue chores with: =AND([Status]="Not Started", [Target Date]


    
    Daily Completion Score:  
        A weighted score based on priority and completion:  
        =IF(F2="Completed", IF(D2="High", 3, IF(D2="Medium", 2, 1)), 0)



Conditional Formatting
Enhances visual clarity and enables rapid assessment:


    Chore Status Columns: Color-coded: Red (Skipped), Yellow (Delayed), Green (Completed), Gray (Not Started).
    Priority Levels: High-priority chores highlighted in bold red text with yellow background.
    Growth Goal Progress Bars: Conditional formatting applied to % progress cells using data bars from 0% to 100%.
    Daily Time Spent vs. Target: Green if actual ≤ target; red if exceeded (optional).
