Table Structures and Column Definitions

1. Daily Tracker Sheet

This is the core data entry point for daily habits.

Column	Data Type / Description
A: Date	Date (YYYY-MM-DD format) – auto-filled based on the current date.
B: Habit Name	Text – e.g., "Drink 8 glasses of water", "Read 20 pages"
C: Status (Checkmark)	Boolean (TRUE/FALSE or ✓/✗) – user manually marks completion.
D: Notes	Text – optional field to record reasons for success/failure.

2. Weekly Summary Sheet

This sheet pulls data from the Daily Tracker and computes weekly metrics.

Column	Data Type / Description
A: Week Start Date	Date – automatically calculated using the Monday of the week.
B: Week End Date	Date – auto-computed as Sunday of the same week.
C: Habit Name	Text – lists each habit from the tracker.
D: Total Days in Week	Numeric – always 7.
E: Completed Days	Numeric – counts TRUE values using COUNTIF.
F: Completion Rate (%)	Percentage – =E2/D2, formatted as percentage.

3. Monthly Report Sheet

Dedicated to long-term analysis and progress tracking over 30-day periods.

Column	Data Type / Description
A: Month & Year	Text – e.g., "March 2025"
B: Habit Name	Text – from the tracker.
C: Total Days in Month	Numeric – depends on month (28–31).
D: Completed Days	Count of TRUE entries per habit.
E: Streak Duration (Days)	Numeric – tracks longest consecutive completion streak using formula logic.
F: Completion Rate (%)	Calculated as D2/C2, formatted as percentage.

Formulas Required

Weekly Summary - Completed Days (E):
=COUNTIF(Daily_Tracker!C:C, TRUE)
(Apply this formula per habit using a filter or VLOOKUP to pull data by habit name.)
Monthly Streak Calculation:
This requires a helper column and advanced logic. A dynamic array formula can be used: =IF(AND(C2=TRUE, C1=TRUE), D1+1, IF(C2=TRUE, 1, 0)) Then find the MAX value in the streak column for each habit.
Completion Rate:
=Completed_Days / Total_Days → formatted as percentage.
Data Validation:
Use data validation in the Status column to allow only TRUE/FALSE or a drop-down with ✓/✗ options.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Highlight completed days (✓) in green.
Highlight missed days (blank or ✗) in light red.
In the Weekly Summary sheet, apply color scales to Completion Rate (%) to visually show performance: green for >80%, yellow for 60–79%, red for below 60%.
Use icon sets in the Monthly Report (e.g., three green checkmarks = strong streak, one red X = poor consistency).

User Instructions

Open the Excel template and navigate to the Daily Tracker tab.
Select a habit from your list (or add new ones in column B).
For each day, mark "TRUE" or insert a ✓ in column C if you completed the habit.
Use the Notes column to reflect on your experience (e.g., "Felt tired, but still did it!").
The Weekly Summary and Monthly Report tabs will auto-update as data is entered.
Visit the Dashboard tab to view charts, trends, and performance insights.
Review the Instructions & Notes sheet for tips on habit formation science (e.g., implementation intentions, reward systems).
