Formulas Required

The template uses several advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and provide real-time insights:

• Progress Status (Weekly): =IFERROR((COUNTIF(INDIRECT("HabitLog!"&ADDRESS(MATCH(A2,HabitLog!A:A,0),2):INDEX(HabitLog!B:B,MATCH(A2,HabitLog!A:A,0)+6)),TRUE)/7)*100, 0) – Calculates weekly completion rate based on habit logs.
• Status Indicator (Live): =IF(AND(Status="Active", TODAY()-LastCheckedDate>7), "At Risk", IF(ProgressStatus>=95%, "Completed", IF(ProgressStatus<30%, "At Risk", "On Track")))
• Team Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(StatusIndicator,"Completed")/COUNTA(HabitName)*100 – Provides overall team habit success percentage.
• Auto-generated Habit ID: – Creates sequential identifiers.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template uses intelligent conditional formatting to highlight performance trends at a glance:

• Status Indicator Colors: Red for "At Risk", Yellow for "On Track", Green for "Completed"
• Progress Bars in Cells: Mini bar charts visualizing weekly progress within each habit row.
• Due Date Alerts: Cells turn orange if the Target Completion Date is within 3 days.
• Last Checked Alert: If a habit hasn't been checked in over 7 days, the entire row highlights in light red.
