Start Date	Date	The date when the habit tracking begins (e.g., 2024-06-15)
End Date	Date	Formula Required for Gantt Chart Progress
Progress (in days)	=IF(AND(D2<>"", E2<>""), E2-D2+1, 0)	Calculates total duration of the habit in days.
Days Completed (Manual Input)	Integer	User manually enters how many days the habit was completed within the timeline.
Completion %	=IF(G2=0, 0, MIN(100, (H2/G2)*100))	Calculates percentage of habit completion relative to total duration.
Streak (Days)	=IF(I2=100, G2, IF(H2=0, 0, MAX(1, I3)))	Attempts to track consecutive days completed. (Note: More advanced streak tracking may require VBA or helper columns).
Next Due Date	=IF(H2=0, Start_Date+1, IF(TODAY()-Start_Date<=G2, TODAY(), "Completed"))	Displays when the habit is next due based on current date.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Habit Status Color Coding	Based on Completion % (e.g., 0-49%: Red, 50-79%: Orange, 80-100%: Green)	Applies background color to the entire row based on completion rate.
Overdue Marker	If current date is past End Date and Completion % < 100%, highlight cell in red.	Alerts user to habits that are behind schedule.
