• 2. Weekly Tracker – A dynamic calendar for daily chore completion tracking.
• 3. Monthly Summary & Performance – Reports on completed tasks, missed chores, and performance metrics.
• 4. Reward System Dashboard – Visualizes points earned and redeemed rewards.

Schematic of Table Structures and Data Types

1. Chore Assignments (Sheet 1)

This sheet defines all chores, their frequency, responsible family members, and associated points.

Data Types: Text (Chore ID, Description), Dropdown List (Frequency), Text/Name Reference (Assigned To), Integer (Points).

2. Weekly Tracker (Sheet 2)

A calendar-style grid for real-time tracking of chore completion throughout the week.

Data Types: Text (Chore), Checkbox-style status indicators, Date-based headers (dynamic), and references to the Chore Assignments sheet.

3. Monthly Summary & Performance (Sheet 3)

This sheet compiles data from the Weekly Tracker and provides insights into performance across all household members.

This sheet pulls data dynamically from the Weekly Tracker using formulas.

Required Formulas for Dynamic Functionality

• Pull Assigned Chores (Weekly Tracker): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Chore_Assignments!$A:$E,2,FALSE),"")
• Count Completed Tasks per Family Member: =COUNTIF(Weekly_Tracker!$B$3:$H$10,"✔️")
• Calculate Total Points Earned: =SUMPRODUCT((Weekly_Tracker!B3:H15="✔️")*(Chore_Assignments!E2:E20))
• Missed Chores (Monthly Summary): =COUNTIF(Weekly_Tracker!B3:H15,"❌")
• Average Completion Rate: =ROUND((Total_Completed / Total_Assigned) * 100, 1)&"%"

Conditional Formatting Rules for Visual Clarity

• Status Column (Weekly Tracker): Green tick (✔️) if completed, red cross (❌) if missed.
• Total Points Earned: Color scale: green for >100 points, yellow for 50–99, red for below 50.
• Performance Rate: Conditional formatting based on percentage—green ≥ 90%, yellow = 75–89%, red <75%.
• Overdue Chores: Highlight in orange if a chore is past due and not marked complete.
