Formulas Required

Streak Count (Column E, Tracking View): =IF(B2=TRUE, IF(E1="", 1, E1+1), 0) – Counts consecutive days a habit was completed.

Completion Rate (%) (Column F): =COUNTIF(B2:D2, TRUE)/COUNTA(B2:D2)*100 – Calculates percentage of habits completed that day.

Monthly Summary (Monthly Summary Sheet): Uses SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and AVERAGEIF to aggregate habit performance by month.

Daily Completion Status (Daily Logs): Auto-populates based on user input in Tracking View via VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH from Habit Definitions.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual feedback and encourage consistency:

Green Highlight (✓): When a habit is checked, cells turn light green.

Red Flash (X): If a streak has been broken, the streak cell turns red.

Growth Indicator Color Scale: Completion Rate (%) uses a gradient from red (0%) to green (100%).

Streak Alerts: Streaks of 7+ days are highlighted in gold; 14+ in bronze.
