Table Structures & Columns (Main Habit Inventory)

The Main Habit Inventory is a master list of all essential habits that support startup operations. Each row represents one habit with the following structured columns:

Data Types & Formula Requirements

• Habit ID Auto-Generation: Use formula: =CONCATENATE("HAB-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"))
• Streak Count: Uses a complex nested IF with COUNTIFS and DATE functions to track consecutive completions. Example: =IF(ISBLANK([Last Completion Date]), 0, IF([Last Completion Date]=TODAY(), 1 + OFFSET(Streak_Count, -1, 0), 1))
• Completion Rate: In the dashboard: =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Active") / COUNTA(Habit_ID_Column)
• Time Efficiency Score: Average (Actual Time / Target Time) for active habits.

Conditional Formatting

• Habit Status: Red background if "Abandoned", Yellow if "On Hold", Green if "Active".
• Streak Count: Gold star icon for streaks > 7 days; red warning for 3-day gaps.
• Time Efficiency: Green when actual time ≤ target time; orange if within 10%, red if over by more than 20%.
• Daily Log Entries: Highlight completed entries in green, missed ones in red (based on TODAY() comparison).
