Table Structures and Columns

Habit Tracker (Main View)

This table tracks daily habit performance with associated equipment. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-------------| | Date | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | The date when the habit was attempted. | | Habit Name | Text (String) | e.g., "Morning Meditation", "Weightlifting", "Yoga" | | Completion Status | Dropdown (Yes/No/Incomplete) | Tracks whether the habit was completed successfully. | | Equipment Used (Multi-select) | Text or Linked List (from Inventory sheet) | Lists equipment used for this session. Supports multiple values separated by commas. | | Duration (Minutes) | Number (Integer, 0–1440) | Time spent on the habit. | | Condition of Equipment | Dropdown: Good, Needs Repair, Missing, Not Used | Assesses equipment health post-use. | | Notes | Text (Free-form) | Optional comments about session quality or issues encountered. |

Equipment Inventory

A centralized database for all tools and gear. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-------------| | Item ID (Auto-generated) | Number (ID Format: EQP-001, etc.) | Unique identifier. Automatically assigned via formula. | | Equipment Name | Text (String) | e.g., "Dumbbells", "Yoga Mat", "Treadmill" | | Category | Dropdown: Fitness, Kitchen, Tools, Tech, Office, Other | Helps group similar equipment for filtering. | | Quantity Available | Number (Integer ≥ 0) | Total count of this item in stock. | | Location (Storage) | Text (String) | Where the equipment is stored. e.g., "Garage", "Home Gym", "Basement". | | Last Used Date | Date or Empty/Blank for unused items | Automatically updates when used in Habit Tracker. | | Next Maintenance Due | Date (Calculated from last maintenance + interval) | Formula-driven field based on maintenance schedule. | | Condition Status | Dropdown: New, Good, Fair, Poor, Needs Repair | Indicates current health of the item. | | Maintenance History Log | Text (Free-form with date stamps) | Records all past repairs and servicing dates. |

Formulas Required

Auto-incrementing Item ID:
=TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") in the first row of the Equipment Inventory, then concatenated with "EQP-" using: ="EQP-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
Last Used Date Update:
Use a VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP in the Inventory sheet to pull the latest date from Habit Tracker where this equipment appears. Formula: =IFERROR(MAX(IF(HabitTracker[Equipment Used]=[@[Equipment Name]],HabitTracker[Date])), "Never")
Next Maintenance Due:
Assuming maintenance interval (in days) is stored in a separate cell (e.g., F1), use:
=IF([@[Last Used Date]]="", "", [@[Last Used Date]] + $F$1)
Streak Calculation (Dashboard):
Use: =IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT((HabitTracker[Completion Status]="Yes")*(HabitTracker[Date]>=TODAY()-30)), 0) to count successful habits in the last 30 days.

Conditional Formatting

Habit Tracker:
- Green: Completion Status = "Yes"
- Red: Completion Status = "No"
- Orange: Completion Status = "Incomplete"
Equipment Inventory:
- Highlight in red if Condition Status is “Needs Repair” or “Poor”
- Highlight in yellow if Next Maintenance Due is within 7 days
- Light blue for items with Last Used Date > 30 days ago (inactive)
Dashboard:
Color-coded progress bars based on habit streaks and equipment uptime

User Instructions

Start by populating the Equipment Inventory sheet with all tools needed for your habits.
Each day, record entries in the Habit Tracker: select a habit, mark completion status, list equipment used (from the dropdown), and add notes if needed.
