Formulas Required
The template uses advanced Excel formulas for automation and analysis:
=IF(AND(MONTH(A2)=MONTH($A$1), YEAR(A2)=YEAR($A$1)), TRUE, FALSE)– Filters data for current month.=COUNTIF(B2:Z2, "Yes")– Counts completed habits per day.=SUMPRODUCT((HabitsList[Status]="Active")*(HabitsList[Category]="Health"))– Counts active health-related habits.=ROUND(COUNTIF(HabitTracker!C:C, "Yes") / COUNTA(HabitTracker!C:C), 2)– Calculates overall habit completion rate.=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, HabitsList, 3, FALSE), "N/A")– Pulls category based on habit ID.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual appeal and insight:
- Daily Completion Rate (Dashboard): Green for 80%+, yellow for 50–79%, red below 50%.
- Completed Habits (Monthly Tracker): Automatically highlights "Yes" cells in green, "No" in light gray.
- Missed Days: Highlights cells where a habit was missed on a required day (based on Frequency).
