Formulas Required

• Auto-fill Date Column: Use the formula: =DATE(Year, Month, Day) + ROW()-ROW($A$2) to generate sequential dates.

• Daily Completion Rate by Category: =COUNTIFS(Habit_Tracker[Habit Category], "Health", Habit_Tracker[Status], "Yes").
• Conditional Highlighting Logic: Formulas embedded in conditional formatting rules (see below).

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Habit Status: If “Status” = Yes → Green fill; if “No” → Red fill with bold text.
• Missed Habit (Over 3 consecutive days): Apply rule: IF (COUNTIF(previous_days, "No") ≥ 3) → Yellow border and blinking effect using VBA.
• Daily Completion Rate: Use a data bar gradient from red (0%) to green (100%).
• Team Leader Highlight: If the user is designated as a team leader, apply bold border and blue background.
