Daily Tracker Sheet - Table Structure & Columns

Formulas for Automation & Analysis
To enhance efficiency and analytical capabilities, the template incorporates several essential formulas:
- Status Calculation (D): Uses a conditional formula to validate input from dropdowns.
- Daily Completion Rate (I): =COUNTIF(D2:D100,"Yes")/COUNTA(D2:D100) – Calculates the percentage of completed habits for the day.
- Average Score per Habit (J): =AVERAGEIF(B:B,B2,E:E) – Tracks average performance for a specific habit.
- Streak Counter (K): Uses nested IF and COUNTIFS to track consecutive days of completion. For example:
=IF(D2="Yes", IF(D1="Yes", K1+1, 1), 0) - Growth Score (L): =E2*(G2/5) – A weighted metric that combines quality of performance with motivation.
Conditional Formatting for Visual Feedback
To make data interpretation intuitive and engaging, the template uses smart conditional formatting:
- Status Highlighting: Green background for "Yes", yellow for "Partial", red for "No".
- Completion Score Color Scale: Red (1), Orange (2), Yellow (3), Light Green (4), Dark Green (5).
