Table Structures & Columns (Daily Habit Log)

The core of the template is the Daily Habit Log sheet. It follows a structured table layout with the following columns:

Formulas Required

To ensure the template functions dynamically and supports data analysis, several key formulas are implemented:

• =IF(STATUS="✓", 1, 0): Converts checkmarks into numeric values for calculation.
• =COUNTIF(HabitRange, "✓") / COUNTA(HabitRange): Calculates daily completion percentage per employee/habit.
• =SUMPRODUCT(--(Habits!$C:$C=EmployeeName), --(Habits!$D:$D=Today)): Counts completed habits for a specific person on a specific date.
• =NETWORKDAYS(TODAY()-30, TODAY()): Calculates number of business days in the last 30 days for accurate streak tracking.
• =IF(OR(STATUS="✓", STATUS=""), "Complete", "Incomplete"): Auto-labels status for reporting clarity.
• Dynamic named ranges are used to ensure formulas scale with growing data.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual readability and highlight performance trends, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Green Checkmarks: When a habit is completed (✓), the cell background turns light green with a checkmark font.
• Red X Marks: For uncompleted habits, cells turn light red with an × symbol.
• Streak Highlighting: Consecutive "✓" entries are highlighted in blue for 3+ day streaks using a custom formula.
• Daily Goal Indicators: If completion rate exceeds 90%, the row turns light yellow; below 70%, it turns pink to flag concerns.
• Monthly Summary Color Coding: Completion percentages are color-coded using a gradient (green → yellow → red).
