Sheet Names

• Habit Tracker (Main): The central hub for logging daily habit completion and progress.
• Sales Performance Dashboard: A visual overview showcasing habit consistency, streaks, and monthly performance—mirroring a sales rep's KPI dashboard.
• Daily Log & Reflection: A journal-style sheet for qualitative feedback, motivation notes, and weekly reflections.
• Goals & Metrics Setup: A configuration sheet where users define their habits, target completion rates, and success thresholds.

Table Structures & Columns (Habit Tracker Sheet)

The primary worksheet is structured as a time-based habit tracker with the following table columns:

Formulas Required

• Streak Counter (Column E – Dynamic):
  Formula: `=IF(D2="Yes", IF(E1="", 1, E1+1), 0)`
  This dynamically calculates consecutive days of completion. If the current day is "Yes" and the previous row was also completed, it adds to the streak; otherwise resets to zero.
• Weekly Completion Rate (Sales Tracker-Style Metric):
  Formula in Dashboard: `=COUNTIF(HabitTracker[Completed], "Yes") / COUNTA(HabitTracker[Date]) * 100`
  Calculates percentage of completed habits per week.
• Monthly Success Rate:
  Formula: `=SUMIFS(HabitTracker[Completed], HabitTracker[Date], ">=start_date", HabitTracker[Date], "<=end_date") / COUNTIFS(HabitTracker[Date], ">=start_date", HabitTracker[Date], "<=end_date")`
  Enables month-over-month performance comparison.
• Goal Achievement Badge:
  Formula: `=IF(F2>=85%, "🎯 Goal Achieved!", IF(F2>=70%, "✅ On Track", "⚠️ Needs Attention"))`
  Applies automated feedback based on performance.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual tracking and motivation, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Habit Streak Highlight: If streak > 7 days → Green background with bold text.
• Low Completion Rate: If completion rate < 60% for a week → Orange background.
• Motivation Score: Scores of 1-2: Red; 3: Yellow; 4–5: Green (visual feedback).
• Date Highlighting: Today’s date is automatically highlighted in blue.
