Sheet 3: Habit Streak Dashboard

This visual dashboard uses conditional formatting and dynamic charts to reflect habit persistence.

Formulas Required

Daily Streak Calculation (Column E in Daily Log):
=IF(A2=MAX($A$1:A1)+1, IF(B1>0, C1+1, 0), IF(B2>0, 1, 0))
This determines if today's savings continues a streak from yesterday.
Habit Consistency Rate (Monthly Sheet):
=ROUND((C2 / DAY(EOMONTH(A2,0))) * 100, 1)
Calculates consistency as a percentage of days saved vs. total days in the month.
Max Streak (Dashboard):
=MAX(Daily_Savings_Log!E:E)
Pulls the maximum streak value from all recorded entries.
Goal Progress (Goal Tracker Sheet):
=SUMIF(Sheet1!A:A, ">= "&Start_Date, Sheet1!B:B)
Summarizes savings within a specific time frame for goal tracking.

Conditional Formatting

Daily Log: Highlight cells where savings amount > $0 with green fill. Flag streaks of 7+ days in blue text.
Monthly Summary: Apply color scales to "Habit Consistency Rate" (green for ≥80%, yellow for 60–79%, red for below 60%).
Habit Streak Dashboard: Use data bars on the “Streak Record” column; red/yellow/green gradient based on streak length.

Instructions for the User

Open the Excel file and enable macros if prompted (for dynamic features).
Navigate to "Daily Savings Log" and enter your savings amount, date, trigger, and method each time you save.
Use the dropdowns in “Habit Trigger” and “Savings Method” to standardize data.
Review the "Habit Streak Dashboard" weekly to visualize your progress. A green streak indicates consistent behavior.
Set a savings goal in "Goal Progress Tracker" (e.g., $1,000 for vacation). The tracker auto-calculates progress.
Explore “Analysis View – Insights & Recommendations” for AI-powered feedback based on your trend data (e.g., “Your consistency dropped 25% last month—consider adjusting your trigger.”).
