Formulas and Automation

The template uses a range of built-in Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and reduce manual work:

• Auto Date Generation: Uses =TODAY() in the first row to auto-fill today’s date for new entries.
• Status Percentage Calculation (Dashboard): =IFERROR(SUMIFS(HabitTracker!F:F, HabitTracker!A:A, Dashboard!B2) / COUNTIFS(HabitTracker!A:A, Dashboard!B2), 0) — Calculates completion rate per habit.
• Daily Completion Counter: =COUNTIF(HabitTracker!F:F, "✓") — Counts total completed habits per day (in dashboard).
• Average Weekly Score: =AVERAGEIFS(HabitTracker!F:F, HabitTracker!A:A, ">="&WEEKDAY(TODAY()-6), HabitTracker!A:A, "<="&TODAY()) — Tracks weekly consistency.
• Habit Status Color Coding: Uses conditional formatting based on formulas to highlight success/failure rates.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and performance tracking, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Status Column (✓/✗): Green checkmark background for completed habits; red cross for incomplete ones.
• Completion Rate (Dashboard): Traffic light style:
  • Red if below 70% completion rate,
  • Yellow between 70–90%,
  • Green above 90%.
• Date Column: Highlights today's date with bold yellow background to increase focus on current tracking.
