Table Structures and Columns (Weekly Basis)
Sheet 1: Weekly Habit Tracker (Main Dashboard)
This sheet uses a weekly grid format with rows representing each day of the week (Monday to Sunday) and columns for habit categories. Each row includes:
- Week Ending: Date of Friday or Sunday, formatted as "MM/DD/YYYY" (e.g., 05/10/2024)
- Habit Name: Text input for habit description (e.g., “Morning Exercise”, “Budget Review”)
- Target Weekly Count: Number of times the habit should be completed per week (e.g., 5x/week)
- Completed This Week: Numeric input indicating how many times the habit was completed.
- Completion Rate (%): Formula-based percentage: =COMPLETED/ TARGET*100
- Status (Auto): Conditional formatting labels ("On Track", "Needs Improvement", "Exceeded") based on completion rate.
- Notes: Optional field for reflections or observations.
Sheet 2: Loan Schedule – Weekly Payments
A structured amortization table with weekly intervals over the loan term:
- Week #: Sequential number (e.g., 1, 2, ..., N)
- Payment Date: Calculated using =DATE(2024,5,1) + (Week# - 1)*7 to generate every seven days.
- Weekly Payment Amount: Fixed value based on user input in the Goal Settings sheet.
- Interest Portion: Formula: =Previous Balance * Annual Rate / 52
- Principal Portion: =Weekly Payment – Interest Portion
- Remaining Balance: =Previous Balance – Principal Portion (with initial balance set by the user).
- Habit Bonus Savings Added?: Optional column where users input weekly savings tied to habit success.
Formulas Required
=IFERROR((Completed/Target)*100, 0): Calculates completion rate with error protection.=DATE(Year, Month, Day) + (WeekNumber-1)*7: Generates weekly payment dates.=(PreviousBalance * AnnualInterestRate)/52: Computes weekly interest (assuming 52 weeks/year).=MIN(WeeklyPayment, RemainingBalance): Prevents overpayments at end of loan.=COUNTIF(HabitColumn, "✓"): Counts completed habit entries per week.=AVERAGE(CompletionRateRange): Tracks average weekly success rate over time.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Completion Rate ≥ 90% → Green fill with white text (“On Track”)
- 70% ≤ Completion Rate < 90% → Yellow fill (“Needs Improvement”)
- Completion Rate < 70% → Red fill with bold text (“At Risk”)
- Remaining Balance approaching zero (last 5 weeks) → Blue highlight to indicate loan nearing payoff.
- Habit cells marked as completed with "✓" → Apply checkmark icon and green background.
User Instructions
- Navigate to Sheet 4: Goal Settings & Calculator.
- Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, term in weeks (e.g., 52 weeks = 1 year), and desired weekly habit savings goal (e.g., $20).
- Customize habit list by adding up to 6 habits with their target completion frequency.
- Return to Sheet 1: Weekly Habit Tracker.
- Daily, update the "Completed This Week" column for each habit (use “✓” for completed).
- The template automatically calculates completion rates and updates charts.
