• Current Streak (Days): =IFERROR(DATEDIF(LARGE(IF(HabitTrackingLog[Status]="Completed", HabitTrackingLog[Date]), 1), TODAY(), "d"), 0) → Counts consecutive days of habit completion by identifying the last completed entry and calculating the difference.
• Weekly Completion Rate: =COUNTIFS(HabitTrackingLog[Date],">="&TODAY()-6, HabitTrackingLog[Status],"Completed")/7*100 → Provides weekly performance insights.
• Goal Progress: =SUMIF(GoalSettingAndPlanning[Client ID], C1001, GoalSettingAndPlanning[Current Progress]) / GoalSettingAndPlanning[Target] → Tracks goal achievement percentage over time.
