Table Structures & Columns (Habit Tracker Sheet)

The primary sheet, Habit Tracker (Main), features a structured table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

To maintain accuracy and automate tracking, the following formulas are embedded:

• =IF(ISBLANK([@[Date]]), "", COUNTIF($C$3:C3, C3)): Auto-increments a daily counter.
• =COUNTIFS(HabitTracker[Status (Daily)], "Yes", HabitTracker[Habit Name], [@Habit Name]): Counts how many times a specific habit was completed.
• =COUNTA(HabitTracker[Date]): Calculates the number of days in the current month that have been tracked.
• =ROUND((SUMPRODUCT(--(HabitTracker[Status (Daily)]="Yes")) / COUNTA(HabitTracker[Date])) * 100, 1): Computes overall completion percentage for all habits.
• =IF([@[Target Frequency]]>0, IF(COUNTIFS(HabitTracker[Habit Name], [@Habit Name], HabitTracker[Status (Daily)], "Yes") >= [@Target Frequency], "Completed", "On Track"), ""): Provides status feedback based on target completion.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues enhance usability and encourage consistency. The template includes:

• Habit Status Highlights: Cells with “Yes” in the Status column are highlighted green; empty cells remain white.
• Daily Streaks: If a habit has been completed for 7+ consecutive days, the row turns blue and displays a "🔥 Streak!" label.
• Completion Rate Colors: The dashboard uses traffic light formatting—green (≥80%), yellow (60–79%), red (<60%)—for habit completion percentages.
• Date Highlighting: Current date is automatically highlighted in bold blue to guide daily logging.
