Habit Focus	Text	Primary habit being tracked (e.g., "Morning Meditation," "Daily Exercise").
Start Date	Date	Date when the client began tracking their habit.
Target Days/Week	Numeric (1–7)	Number of days per week the client aims to perform the habit.
Status	Text (Dropdown: "Starting," "Tracking," "Progressing," "Matured")	Current phase in the habit cycle. Updated manually or via formula.
Completion Rate (%)	Percentage (Formula)	Dynamically calculated from data in the "Habit Tracker" sheet.

Sheet 2: Habit Tracker (Daily Log)

Column	Data Type	Description
Date (Auto)	Date (Auto-fill)	Automatically populates with today's date when a new row is added.

Habit Status	Yes/No (Checkbox)	Check if the habit was completed on that day.
Notes	Text (Optional)	Daily reflection or challenges encountered.

Current Streak: Formula calculates consecutive days of habit completion.
Average Completion Rate: Weekly average derived from 7-day rolling window.
Habit Maturity Level: Color-coded indicators based on consistency (e.g., Green = High, Yellow = Medium, Red = Low).

Sheet 4: Instructions & Tips

A guide for users explaining how to use the template effectively. Includes best practices for habit building and troubleshooting common issues.

Formulas Required

The template leverages built-in Excel functions to automate calculations and enhance usability:

Completion Rate: =IF(COUNTIFS(HabitTracker!$B:$B, ClientOverview!A2, HabitTracker!$C:$C, "TRUE")=0, 0%, COUNTIFS(HabitTracker!$B:$B, ClientOverview!A2, HabitTracker!$C:$C, "TRUE") / COUNTIF(HabitTracker!$B:$B, ClientOverview!A2))
Current Streak: =SUMPRODUCT(--(HabitTracker!$B:$B=ClientOverview!A2), --(HabitTracker!$C:$C="TRUE"), --(ROW(HabitTracker!$A:$A)>=LARGE(IF((HabitTracker!$B:$B=ClientOverview!A2)*(HabitTracker!$C:$C="TRUE")), ROW(HabitTracker!$A:$A)),1)-7), --(ROW(HabitTracker!$A:$A)<=LARGE(IF((HabitTracker!$B:$B=ClientOverview!A2)*(HabitTracker!$C:$C="TRUE")), ROW(HabitTracker!$A:$A)),1))) (Simplified version recommended for basic users using helper columns).
Status Update: Conditional logic to flag clients with completion rate >80% as "Progressing" or ">90%" as "Matured".

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and visual feedback:

Completion Rate Column: Green (≥90%), Yellow (70–89%), Red (<70%)
Status Column: Color-coded background: Blue ("Starting"), Light Green ("Tracking"), Dark Green ("Progressing"), Purple ("Matured")
