Formulas & Automation

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure real-time updates and intelligent analysis:

• Streak Counter (Dashboard): Uses a combination of COUNTIFS, SUMPRODUCT, and conditional logic to track consecutive days completed for each habit.
• Daily Completion Rate: Calculated as:

  =COUNTIF(tblDailyLog[Completed?], "Yes") / COUNTA(tblDailyLog[Date]) * 100%

• Weekly Success Rate: Uses SUMIFS to group data by week and compare actual completions vs. target frequency.
• Auto-generated Date Ranges: Dynamic date generation in Calendar View using the SEQUENCE function (Excel 365) for future tracking.

To enhance readability and highlight performance, the template includes:

• Daily Log Highlighting: Green background if “Completed?” is Yes; red if No.
• Streak Indicators: Yellow background for 3+ day streaks, gold for 7+ days.
• Category Heatmap: Color scale applied to weekly summary cells based on completion percentage (red = low, green = high).
