Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy

Daily Habit Completion Score (Habit Tracker):
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:F2=TRUE))
This counts how many habits were completed in a given day.
Current Streak Count (Dashboard):
=IFERROR(SUMPRODUCT((HabitTracker!$A$2:$A$366<=TODAY())*(HabitTracker!G2:G366=5)*--(HabitTracker!$A$1:$A$365 Calculates consecutive days with perfect habit completion.


    Running Balance (Savings Log):

        =IF(A2=MIN(SavingsLog!$A:$A), 0, OFFSET(SavingsLog!$E$1, ROW()-2, 0)) + D2
Generates a real-time balance after each transaction.
    Monthly Savings Total (Monthly Summary):

        =SUMIFS(SavingsLog!$D:$D, SavingsLog!$A:$A, ">= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1, SavingsLog!$A:$A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
Aggregates all positive savings deposits for the current month.
    Habit Completion Rate (Dashboard):

        =ROUND((COUNTIF(HabitTracker!G:G, 5) / COUNTA(HabitTracker!A:A)) * 100, 1)&"%"
Displays the percentage of days with full habit success.



Conditional Formatting Rules

    Habit Completion Highlights: If a day’s score is 5, highlight the row in green. If less than 3, highlight in red.
    Savings Balance Status: Green if balance > goal; yellow if between 80% and 100%; red if below 80% of target (using relative conditional formatting).
    Streak Alerts: Any streak over 7 days is highlighted in gold. Streaks of 30+ days get a special badge (custom icon via Conditional Formatting with icons).
    Missed Days: Habit cells that remain unchecked for two consecutive days trigger a warning flag.


Instructions for the User

    Open the Excel file and save it as your personalized version (e.g., "SavingsHabits_John.xlsx").
    Navigate to the Habit Tracker tab and enter today’s date in Column A.
    Check off each habit you complete using TRUE/FALSE or a checkbox form control.
    Go to the Savings Log, record deposits or withdrawals with accurate dates, descriptions, and amounts. Balance updates automatically.
    Use the Goal Planner sheet to set monthly savings targets (e.g., £200) and habit milestones (e.g., 30-day streak).
    Review the Dashboard daily to visualize progress, streaks, and savings trends.
    Promptly update both sheets after each significant financial transaction or habit attempt.
