Sheet Names

• Client Overview (Main Dashboard): Central hub displaying summary metrics for all clients, progress trends, and upcoming tasks.
• Weekly Habit Tracker: Core sheet where daily habit data is recorded for each client on a weekly basis.

Table Structures & Columns (Weekly Habit Tracker)

The Weekly Habit Tracker is organized by week and client. Each row represents a single day within the week (Monday to Sunday), with one column per habit. The table structure allows for quick scanning and input.

Data Types & Entry Guidelines

• Client ID: Text (e.g., C001, C002) – auto-generated or manually assigned.
• Client Name: Text string for identification.
• Week Starting Date: Date format (MM/DD/YYYY) – used to group records by week.
• Day of Week: Text (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) – standard entry to maintain readability.
• Habit Columns (e.g., "Habit 1"): Checkbox-style entries using ✓ or ✗; can be manually entered or selected from a drop-down.
• Notes / Challenges: Text field for qualitative feedback and obstacles encountered.

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to calculate habit consistency, track progress, and generate summaries:

• Weekly Completion Rate (Cell: E10 in Client Overview):
  =ROUND((COUNTIF(HabitRange,"✓") / COUNTA(HabitRange)) * 100, 1)
  Calculates the percentage of habits completed during the week.
• Streak Counter (Cell: F10):
  =IF(AND(COUNTIF(HabitRange,"✓")=7, LastWeekStreak>0), LastWeekStreak+1, 1)
  Tracks consecutive weeks where all habits were completed.
• Daily Habit Status (Conditional Logic):
  =IF(AND(HabitColumn="✓", DayOfWeek<>"Sunday"), "On Track", IF(HabitColumn="✗", "Missed - Follow up", ""))
• Automated Weekly Summary (in Progress Reports):
  Uses SUMIFS and AVERAGEIFS to aggregate data across clients and time periods.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity, the template includes smart conditional formatting:

• Habit Completion Status (✓/✗): Green background for ✓, red for ✗.
• Weekly Completion Rate: Red if below 70%, yellow if 70–89%, green if 90% or higher.
• Missed Habits (3+ in a week): Applies bold red text and italic font to highlight concern areas.
• Streak Growth: Highlight streaks of 4+ consecutive weeks with a golden badge icon (if using Excel 365’s icon sets).
