Formulas Required for Automation and Analysis

• Habit Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Date_Column) → Displays % of completed days per habit.
• Weekly Completion (%): =SUMIFS(Habit_Tracker!Status, Habit_Tracker!Date, ">="&Week_Start, Habit_Tracker!Date, "<="&Week_End) / COUNTIFS(Habit_Tracker!Date, ">="&Week_Start)
• Goal Progress (%): =COUNTIF(Habits_Contributing_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Habits_Contributing_Column)
• On Track Indicator: Uses a formula like: =IF(Completion_Rate > 80%, "Yes", "No") → For visual status labels.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance usability, the template applies dynamic formatting:

• Habit Status (Tracker): Green for “Completed”, Yellow for “Partial”, Red for “Skipped”.
• Progress Bars (Dashboard): Color-coded bars showing progress from 0% to 100%, with red/yellow/green thresholds.
• Goal Status: Amber background for “In Progress”, Green for “Completed”.
• Reflections Reminder: Auto-highlights blank reflection entries in pink after a week’s delay.

User Instructions

1. Setup: Enter your name, start date, and selected habits under the “Client Dashboard” section. Ensure Excel is set to allow macros if using interactive features (optional).
2. Daily Use: Open the “Habit Tracker” tab each morning or evening. Record your status for each habit.
3. Weekly Reflections: Fill out the “Weekly Reflections” sheet every Sunday to review patterns and adjust goals.
