Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate tracking and reporting:

COUNTIF with dynamic range: Counts completed habits per week using =COUNTIF(D:D, "Completed").
Dynamic date filtering: Uses a filter on the Date column to isolate data by week or month.
AVERAGEIFS for habit performance: Calculates average completion rates per category: =AVERAGEIFS(D:D, C:C, "Daily", A:A, ">=2024-01-01", A:A, "<=2024-12-31").
Conditional aggregation: Uses SUMPRODUCT with ISNUMBER and MATCH to tally completed habits by category.
Auto-fill dates: Utilizes the Fill Handle or formula: =TODAY()-7+ROW(A1), adjusted for weekly view.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues make progress immediately apparent:

Status Color Coding: "Completed" appears in green, "Missed" in red, and "In Progress" in yellow using color scales.
Daily Habit Highlighting: Applies a blue background to all daily habits on their scheduled date.
Trend Indicators: Uses data bars in the Weekly Dashboard to visually compare completion rates week-over-week.
