TABLE STRUCTURES & COLUMNS
Habit Tracker (Main Tracking Sheet)
This table is the heart of the template. It uses a grid layout with dates as columns and habit categories as rows. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|------------| | Habit ID | Text (Auto-Generated) | Unique identifier for each habit (e.g., HAB001). | | Habit Name | Text (User Input) | e.g., "Meditate 10 minutes", "Drink 8 glasses of water". | | Category | Dropdown List (Predefined) | e.g., Health, Productivity, Mindfulness, Finance, Fitness. | | Target Frequency per Day | Number (1 or 0/1 for daily/weekly) | Default: 1 (daily). Can be modified for weekly habits. | | Start Date | Date Field | The date the habit was first tracked. | | End Date / Duration | Formula-Driven (Auto-Calculated) | Displays the number of days in the current month being tracked. | | Completion Status (Daily) | Checkbox or 1/0 Boolean (Formula-driven) | Checked if completed; unchecked otherwise. | *Note: The date columns span from Day 1 to Day 31, formatted as short dates (e.g., "2024-04-01").*Habit List
This is a reference sheet with the following structure: | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|------------| | Habit ID | Text (Auto-generated) | e.g., HAB001. | | Habit Name | Text (User Input) | Descriptive name of the habit. | | Category | Dropdown Selection (Predefined List) | Ensures consistency across tracking. | | Difficulty Level (1–5 Scale) | Number Input (1-5) | 1 = Easy, 5 = Challenging. Helps in self-assessment. | | Priority Score (1–3) | Number Input (1-3) | 3 = High Priority, helps prioritize focus. |FORMULAS REQUIRED
The template relies on dynamic formulas to automate tracking and analysis:- Completion Rate (%) per Habit:
=IF(COUNTA(B2:AE2)=0, 0, (COUNTIF(B2:AE2, TRUE) / COUNTA(B2:AE2)) * 100)
Calculates the percentage of days completed out of total tracked days. - Streak Counter:
=IF(OR(B2="", B2=FALSE), 0, IF(B2=TRUE, IF(COUNTIF($B$1:B1, TRUE)=COUNTA($B$1:B1), MAX(0,B3)+1), 0))
Dynamically tracks consecutive successful completions. - Overall Monthly Completion Rate:
=IF(COUNTA(HabitTracker!B2:B30)=0, 0, (SUM(HabitTracker!B2:B30) / COUNTA(HabitTracker!B2:B30)) * 100)
Aggregates success across all habits. - Weekly Average Completion:
=AVERAGEIFS(HabitTracker!B2:AE2, HabitTracker!$A$1:$Z$1, ">=Week 1", HabitTracker!$A$1:$Z$1, "<=Week 4")
Breaks down performance by weeks.
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
