Summary Dashboard: A high-level overview of habit performance, completion rates, streaks, and trends using charts and KPIs.

TABLE STRUCTURES AND COLUMNS

Data Entry Sheet – Table Structure (Table Name: tblHabitLogs)

| Column Name | Data Type | Description | |---------------------|---------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Date | Date | The date on which the habit was attempted or completed. | | Habit ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier linked to the habit from the Habit Library. | | Habit Name | Text | Name of the habit (e.g., "Morning Meditation"). | | Status | Dropdown (Yes/No) | Whether the habit was completed ("Yes") or missed ("No"). | | Duration (min) | Number | Time spent on the habit, if applicable. | | Difficulty Rating | Number (1–5) | Self-assessment of how difficult it was to complete that day. | | Notes | Text | Optional personal reflections or contextual remarks about performance. |

Analysis View – Table Structure (Table Name: tblAnalysis)

This sheet aggregates and analyzes data from the Data Entry sheet using advanced Excel functions. | Column Name | Data Type | Formula / Description | |-----------------------|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Habit ID | Text | Linked from Data Entry. | | Habit Name | Text | Looked up via VLOOKUP from the Habit Library. | | Total Records | Number | COUNTIFS across all dates for this habit. | | Completed Count | Number | =COUNTIFS(Status column, "Yes", [Habit ID]) | | Completion Rate (%) | Percentage | =Completed Count / Total Records | | Longest Streak (days) | Number | Calculated using dynamic formula to detect max consecutive "Yes" entries. | | Current Streak (days) | Number | Current number of consecutive "Yes" entries from the last date onward. | | Average Duration (min)| Number | AVERAGEIF based on habit ID and status = "Yes". | | Avg Difficulty Rating | Number | AVERAGEIF for difficulty rating where status = "Yes". |

FORMULAS REQUIRED

Completion Rate: =IFERROR(COUNTIFS(tblHabitLogs[Status], "Yes", tblHabitLogs[Habit ID], [@HabitID]) / COUNTIF(tblHabitLogs[Habit ID], [@HabitID]), 0)
Longest Streak: Requires a helper column using array formulas or Power Query to track consecutive "Yes" values.
Current Streak: Uses a recursive formula based on date order and status. Example: =IFERROR(IF(AND([@Status]="Yes", [@[Date]] = MAXIFS(tblHabitLogs[Date], tblHabitLogs[Habit ID], [@HabitID])), 1, IF([@Status]="Yes", LOOKUP(2,1/(tblHabitLogs[Habit ID]=[@HabitID])*(tblHabitLogs[Status]="Yes"), tblAnalysis[Current Streak])+1, 0)), 0)
Dynamic Filtering: Uses SUBTOTAL(3, ...) for filtered visibility and dynamic table refresh.

CUSTOM CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

Habit Completion Rate (Color Scale): Green-to-red gradient based on % completion. Above 90% = bright green; below 60% = red.
Current Streaks: Highlight streaks over 7 days in bold blue text with a yellow background.
