Formulas Required

• Habit Streak Calculation:
  Use this formula in Column D (Streak Count) to count consecutive “Yes” entries per habit:
  =IF(C2="Yes", IF(D1="", 1, D1+1), 0)
• Stock Status Alert:
  In Stock Inventory Sheet, add in Column F (Status):
  =IF(B2 < C2, "Low Stock – Reorder!", "In Stock")
• Next Restock Date (Optional):
  Using average usage rate (e.g., 1 unit per 7 days), use:
  =IF(B2 < C2, D2 + 7, "")
• Daily Habit Completion Rate:
  In the Dashboard sheet, calculate overall completion rate:
  =COUNTIF(HabitTracker!C:C,"Yes") / COUNTA(HabitTracker!C:C)

Conditional Formatting

• Habit Tracker: Highlight “Yes” entries in green, “No” in red. Apply a gradient to streaks (e.g., 7+ days = bright yellow).
• Stock Inventory: Red background for items where stock is below the reorder threshold. Yellow for items at 80% of threshold.
• Daily Streaks: Use color scales to highlight long streaks (e.g., red = 1-5 days, orange = 6-10, green = +10).
