Table Structures & Columns (Daily Habit Tracker Sheet)

The Daily Habit Tracker sheet contains a structured table with the following columns:

Each row represents a distinct habit with its category, name, and weekly target. The data types used are:

• Habit Category: Text (e.g., Professional Development, Fitness & Wellness)
• Habit Name: Text (descriptive name of the behavior)
• Target Frequency: Number (integer: e.g., 5 times/week)
• Each weekday cell: Text or Boolean input ("Yes"/"No", or "✔️"/"—") based on completion.

Formulas Required for Automation & Tracking

The template leverages several advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking and insights:

• Completion Check (per habit):
  =IF(COUNTIF(D3:J3,"✔️") >= $C3, "✅", "❌")
  This checks if the number of completed days meets or exceeds the target frequency.
• Weekly Completion Rate (Dashboard):
  =ROUNDUP(COUNTIF(Tracker!D2:J10,"✔️") / COUNTA(Tracker!D2:D10) * 100, 2)
  Calculates the overall percentage of habits completed this week.
• Streak Counter:
  =IF(COUNTIF(D3:J3,"✔️") = COUNTA(D3:J3), "🔥", IF(COUNTIF(D3:J3,"✔️") > 0, "📈", "❌"))
  Visual indicator showing streak consistency or improvement.
• Sum of Completed Habits (per day):
  =COUNTIF(D2:D10,"✔️") — Used in the Dashboard to show daily productivity peaks.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and performance tracking:

• Habit Completion (Green Check):
  Format: If cell contains "✔️", apply green fill and bold text.
• Missed Habit (Red X):
  Format: If cell is empty or contains "—", apply red fill with gray font.
• High-Performance Days:
  Format: Days with 5+ completed habits → dark blue background.
• Streak Highlight:
  Conditional formula for rows where all 7 days are completed → gold border and star icon.
