Formulas Required for Automation

• Progress (%) Calculation: =IF(TARGET_VALUE<>0, (CURRENT_VALUE / TARGET_VALUE), 0)
• Status Label: =IF(Progress > 1.0, "Ahead", IF(Progress >= 0.8, "On Track", "Behind"))
• Habit Completion Rate: In the Dashboard sheet: =COUNTIF(HabitTracker!C:C,"Yes") / COUNTA(HabitTracker!A:A) (adjust ranges accordingly)
• Monthly Start & End Date: Use =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1) and =EOMONTH(DATE(...), 0) to auto-generate calendar range.
• Daily KPI Input Links: Use VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH to pull values from habit tracker or external data sources into the KPI table.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Habit Tracker: Apply conditional formatting to "Status" column: green for "Yes", red for "No".
• KPI Monitoring: Color-code the "Progress (%)" column using data bars (green-to-red gradient). Highlight cells with progress < 80% in yellow, > 100% in dark green.
• Dashboard Summary: Use color scales to highlight KPIs by performance tier.
