• Streak Counter (Per Habit): =IF(AND(HabitTracker[@Status]="Completed", [@[Date]]>MAXIFS([@Date], HabitTracker[Habit Name], [@Habit Name], HabitTracker[Status], "Completed")), 1 + MAXIFS(Habits[Streak], Habits[Habit Name], [@Habit Name]), IF([@Status]="Completed", 1, 0)) Tracks consecutive successful days.
• Monthly Completion Rate (Summary): =COUNTIFS(HabitTracker[Habit Name], "Read 10 pages daily", HabitTracker[Status], "Completed", HabitTracker[Date], ">="&DATE(2025,4,1), HabitTracker[Date], "<="&EOMONTH(DATE(2025,4,1),0)) Calculates habit performance per month.

To enhance visual clarity and motivate consistency:

• Status Column Color Coding:
