Formulas Required

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate insights and analysis:

• Streak Counter (in Habit Progress Dashboard): =IF(AND([@Status]="Completed", [@[Date]]=MAXIFS('Daily Habit Log'!$A:$A,'Daily Habit Log'!$B:$B,[@Habit],'Daily Habit Log'!$A:$A,"<"&[@Date])),1+INDEX('Habit Progress Dashboard'!$C:$C,MATCH([@Habit],'Habit Progress Dashboard'!$B:$B,0)),IF([@Status]="Completed",1,0)) – Tracks consecutive days of habit completion.
• Monthly Completion Rate: =COUNTIFS('Daily Habit Log'!$B:$B,"=Content Creation",'Daily Habit Log'!$A:$A,">="&DATE(2025,4,1),'Daily Habit Log'!$A:$A,"<"&DATE(2025,5,1),'Daily Habit Log'!$C:$C,"=Completed") / COUNTIFS('Daily Habit Log'!$B:$B,"=Content Creation",'Daily Habit Log'!$A:$A,">="&DATE(2025,4,1),'Daily Habit Log'!$A:$A,"<"&DATE(2025,5,1)) – Calculates percentage of completed habits per month.
• Average Success Score by Habit: =AVERAGEIF('Daily Habit Log'!$B:$B,[@Habit],'Daily Habit Log'!$F:$F) – Computes average effectiveness ratings for each habit.
• Correlation Analysis (in Campaign Performance Matrix): Uses Excel’s CORREL function to measure the relationship between time spent on a habit and campaign conversion rates.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and highlight performance trends:

• Habit Completion Streaks: Applies green fill to cells with 7+ consecutive completed days.
• Status Indicator: Uses red fill for "Skipped" statuses, green for "Completed".
