Formulas Required for Automation and Intelligence

To enable smart behavior tracking and inventory control, the following formulas are embedded:

• Habit Streak Calculation (Habit Tracker): =IF(AND(Status="Yes", ROW()-1=1), 1, IF(Status="Yes", INDEX(Habit Tracker!$E:$E, ROW()-1)+1, 0)) This formula calculates consecutive days based on prior row’s status.
• Stock Status Indicator (Inventory Log): =IF(Current Quantity <= Reorder Level, "Low Stock", IF(Current Quantity = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
• Automatic Inventory Reduction (Habit Tracker → Inventory Log): Use VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH to identify linked items from the Habit Tracker and reduce their quantity in the Inventory Log when a habit is marked as completed with consumption.
• Daily Completion Rate (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(Habit Tracker!$C:$C, "Yes") / COUNTA(Habit Tracker!$A:$A) * 100
• Monthly Habit Summary: Use SUMIFS with date ranges and habit names to compute totals per month.

Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity

Visual cues reinforce user engagement and system health:

• Habit Streaks > 7 days: Highlight cell in green with bold text to celebrate milestones.
• Status = "Low Stock" or "Out of Stock": Apply red fill with white text.
• Satisfaction Score ≤ 2: Shade cell yellow to flag low-performing habits for review.
• Habit completion rate over 80%: Highlight the row in light blue as a success indicator.
