Formulas Required

The following formulas are essential for automation and accuracy:

• Date Filtering: Use =FILTER(Daily_Chores_Log!A:G, (Daily_Chores_Log!A:A >= StartDate) * (Daily_Chores_Log!A:A <= EndDate)) to pull relevant data per week.
• Completion Rate: =COUNTIFS(Daily_Chores_Log!$C:$C, "Completed", Daily_Chores_Log!$B:$B, ">= "&Start, Daily_Chores_Log!$B:$B, "<= "&End) / COUNTIFS(Daily_Chores_Log!$B:$B, ">= "&Start, Daily_Chores_Log!$B:$B, "<= "&End)
• Average Growth Impact: =AVERAGEIF(Daily_Chores_Log!$C:$C,"Completed", Daily_Chores_Log!$G:$G)
• Total Time (Hours): =SUM(Daily_Chores_Log!E:E)/60
• Dynamic Week Number: Use to auto-generate week numbers.
