Formulas Required

The template relies on several powerful Excel formulas for automation and insight:

Streak Count:
=IF([@Completed?] = "Yes", IF(ROW()=MIN(ROWS(Data Entry[#All])), 1, [@[Streak Count]] + 1), 0)
(Requires structured reference logic and row comparison to track streaks across dates.)
Habit Score (Weighted):
=IF([@Completed?] = "Yes", IF([@Priority Level] = "High", 3, IF([@Priority Level] = "Medium", 2, 1)), 0)
This assigns points based on priority and completion.
Daily Performance Score:
=SUMIFS('Data Entry'[Score], 'Data Entry'[Date], [@Date]) / COUNTIFS('Data Entry'[Date], [@Date])
Averages scores per day to assess daily progress quality.
Weekly Completion Rate:
=COUNTIFS('Data Entry'[Completed?], "Yes", 'Data Entry'[Date], ">="&[Start Date of Week]) / COUNTIFS('Data Entry'[Date], ">="&[Start Date of Week])
Calculates habit consistency across weeks.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues are applied to enhance readability and highlight patterns:

Streaks: Green background for streaks ≥ 5 days; red for streaks interrupted.
Habit Score: Color scale (green to red) based on score values (0–100).
Completion Rate: Red if below 75%, yellow between 75%–90%, green above 90%.
Date Highlighting: Light gray for future dates; past dates are normal.
