Habit Category	Text. Categorized into Office Management themes (e.g., “Meeting Prep”, “Document Archiving”, “Equipment Checks”).
Habit Name	Text. Specific daily or weekly action (e.g., "Check email inbox", "Update project tracker", "Clear desk by 6 PM").
Target Frequency	Text/Number. e.g., “Daily”, “3x per week”, “Weekly”. Used for tracking consistency.
Status (Completed)	Boolean (Yes/No). Checkbox or "Yes" / "No" input. Critical for progress calculations.
Time Spent (Minutes)	Numeric. Enter time in minutes spent on the task for efficiency analysis.
Notes	Text. Optional field for brief observations (e.g., “Meeting ran 15 min late”, “No printer issues today”).

Formulas Required

Auto Date Entry (Main Tracker): Use the formula =TODAY() in a cell with data validation set to allow only dates up to today or yesterday.
Completion Rate Calculation (Dashboard): =COUNTIF(MainTracker[Status (Completed)], "Yes") / COUNTA(MainTracker[Status (Completed)]) This calculates the percentage of habits completed for a given period.
Count by Category: Use COUNTIFS to tally how many times each category was performed per week, e.g.: =COUNTIFS(MainTracker[Date],">="&DATE(2024,5,1),MainTracker[Date],"<"&DATE(2024,6,1),MainTracker[Habit Category],"Meeting Prep")
Time Spent Summary: Use SUMIF to total time spent on habits by category or user.
Conditional Flagging (Optional): Highlight overdue items using: =AND(MainTracker[Status (Completed)]="No", MainTracker[Date]=TODAY())

Conditional Formatting Rules

Green Highlight for Completed Tasks: Apply rule to “Status (Completed)” column: Format cells where value = "Yes" → Green fill.
Red Alert for Uncompleted Today’s Habits: If a habit is due daily and marked "No", apply red fill with bold text.
Color-Gradient for Time Spent: Format time cells (in minutes) with data bars or color scales to show longer vs. shorter efforts.
Highlight Repeating Habits: Use formula-based formatting to emphasize habits that occur multiple times per week.
