Formulas Required

• Streak Count Calculation:
  In "Streak Count" column: =IF(B2="Yes", IF(ROW()-1=1, 1, IF(INDEX(Status!$C:$C, ROW()-1)="Yes", OFFSET(HabitLogs!$F:$F, -1, 0)+1, 1)), "")
  (Note: This uses dynamic references and array logic to calculate consecutive days.)
• Maintenance Due Date:
  =IF(AND(E2<>"", F2<>""), E2 + 365, "") (Assumes annual maintenance cycle. Adjustable based on equipment type.)
• Equipment Status Alerts:
  Formula in conditional formatting: =AND(Status="Active", MaintenanceDue <= TODAY() + 7) → Triggers yellow highlight.
• Streak Visualization (Dashboard):
  Use =COUNTIF(HabitLogs!$C:$C, "Yes") for current streak; combine with date comparisons to track progress over time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Habit Streaks: Green background for 7+ consecutive days of completion.
• Maintenance Due: Amber fill when maintenance is due in the next 7 days.
• Status Alerts: Red text for equipment with warranty expiry within 30 days or overdue maintenance.
