• =AVERAGE(DailyHabitTracker!D:D) – Calculates average daily time spent.
• =ROUND(COUNTIF(WeeklySummary!C:C,"Yes")/COUNTA(WeeklySummary!C:C),2)*100 – Computes percentage of completed habits per week.
• =IF(TODAY() > MonthlyPlan!D:D, "Overdue", IF(TODAY() >= MonthlyPlan!C:C, "On Track", "Upcoming")) – Visualizes campaign status dynamically.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight key performance areas:

• Status Column (Daily Tracker): Green for “Yes”, red for “No”.
• Completion Rate (%) (Weekly Summary): Color scale from red (<50%) to green (>90%).
• Campaign Status (Monthly Plan): Use color-coded icons: Red (!) for "Overdue", Yellow (!) for "On Track", Green (✓) for "Completed".
• Time Spent Per Task (Daily Tracker): Highlight cells >60 minutes in amber to identify time-intensive activities.
