Table Structures and Columns (Daily Habit Tracker)

The core of this Time Tracker is the "Daily Habit Tracker" sheet, designed with clarity and efficiency in mind. The table has 11 columns:

Column	Data Type	Description
Date (YYYY-MM-DD)	Text / Date (Formatted)	Standardized date entry for consistency. Auto-formatted to YYYY-MM-DD.
Habit Name	Text	Name of the habit being tracked (e.g., "Morning Journaling", "Code Review").
Target Duration (minutes)	Numeric (Number)	Planned time for the habit. E.g., 30 minutes for meditation.
Actual Duration (minutes)	Numeric	Time spent on the habit that day. User fills in post-completion.
Status	Text / Dropdown (Yes/No)	Boolean status: "Yes" if completed, "No" if not.
Start Time	Time Format (HH:MM)	When the habit began.
End Time	Time Format (HH:MM)	When the habit ended.

Focus Score (1–5)	Numeric (1 to 5)
Notes	Text / Long Text	Optional field for reflections, challenges, or insights.

Formulas Required

To maintain data integrity and enable automation, the following formulas are applied:

Actual Duration Calculation (Column E): =IF(AND(D2<>"", C2<>""), D2 - C2, "") (Note: Requires time values. Use time arithmetic with proper format.)
Status Indicator (Column F): =IF(E2="Yes", "Completed", IF(AND(C2<>"", E2=""), "Incomplete", "")) Automatically sets status based on entries.
Consistency Score (per habit – in Weekly Summary): =COUNTIF(HabitTracker!F:F, "Yes") / COUNTA(HabitTracker!F:F) * 100 Calculated per habit to show completion rate.
Time Efficiency (Column G): =IF(C2<>"" AND D2<>"", D2 / C2, "") Measures how close actual duration is to target (e.g., 0.9 = 90% of target).
Daily Total Habits Completed (in Weekly Summary): =COUNTIF(DailyHabitTracker!F:F, "Yes") Aggregates daily success count.

Conditional Formatting

Dynamic visual cues enhance data interpretation:

Habit Status Highlighting (Column F): Green background for "Yes", red for "No".
Duration Variance (Column G): - Green: Actual ≥ Target (≥100%) - Yellow: 80%–99% of target - Red: Below 80%
Focus & Motivation Scores: Blue for ratings ≥4; yellow for 3; red for ≤2.
Daily Summary Row (in Weekly Report): Bold font and light blue fill if all habits completed that day.
