Formulas Required
The Analysis View relies on several powerful Excel formulas to maintain dynamic data:- Count of Completed Habits: `=COUNTIF(DailyLog!D:D, "✅")` – counts total successful entries.
- Daily Completion Rate: `=COUNTIF(DailyLog!D:D, "✅") / COUNTA(DailyLog!A:A)` – calculates % success per day.
- Average Duration by Habit: `=AVERAGEIF(DailyLog!B:B, "Meditate", DailyLog!C:C)` – average time spent on a specific habit.
- Current Streak Calculation: Uses nested IF statements and OFFSET functions to track consecutive days with ✅ for each habit.
- Habit Success Rate (Overall): `=COUNTIF(DailyLog!D:D, "✅") / COUNTA(DailyLog!D:D)` – total habit success rate across all entries.
- Monthly Summary: Uses
SUMIFS,COUNTIFS, and date filtering to generate monthly KPIs.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhance visual clarity with these formatting rules applied in the Analysis View:- Habit Success Rate: Green (≥80%), Yellow (60–79%), Red (<60%) for quick performance assessment.
- Streaks: Gold background for streaks ≥10 days; red for streaks broken.
