Data Types and Formulas Required

This template leverages Excel’s full power with dynamic formulas to automate calculations:

• Habit Streak Calculation: Uses the formula: =IF(TODAY()-LastCompletedDate<=1, CurrentStreak+1, 1) (Automatically resets streak if a day is missed.)
• Stock Level Alert: =IF(CurrentStock <= ReorderThreshold, "Order Soon", "Sufficient Stock")
• Expiry Warning: =IF(ExpiryDate-TODAY()<=7, "Expires Soon!", "")
• Weekly Habit Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(HabitLog!B:B, "=Yes")/7*100 (for last 7 days)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance usability and visual clarity:

• Habit Tracker: Green fill for streaks ≥7 days, yellow for 3–6 days, red for ≤2.
• Stock Inventory: Red text and background when stock ≤ reorder threshold; orange if expiration is within 7 days.
• Daily Log: Color-coded cells based on habit completion (green = completed, red = missed).
