FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate tracking, calculate KPIs, and generate insights:

• Streak Counter (Habit Tracker):
  

  =IFERROR(IF(AND('Habit Tracker'!B2="Yes", 'Habit Tracker'!A2=TODAY()), 1 + IF('Habit Tracker'!C1="Yes", 'Dashboard Summary'!E3, 0), 0), 0)

  This formula tracks consecutive days a habit was completed.
• Weekly Completion Rate:
  

  =COUNTIF('Habit Tracker'!C:C, "Yes") / COUNTA('Habit Tracker'!A:A) * 100

  Calculates overall habit completion rate across the logged period.
• Task Completion Rate (Daily Operations):
  

  =COUNTIF('Daily Operations Log'!E:E, "Completed") / COUNTA('Daily Operations Log'!A:A) * 100

  Shows percentage of tasks completed per day/week.
• Auto-populate Date:
  In 'Habit Tracker', use =TODAY() in the first cell of the Date column to auto-fill today’s date.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

• Task Status: Color-code status columns:
  • Pending → Light yellow
  • In Progress → Light blue
  • Completed → Green
  • Failed → Red with bold text
• Habit Completion: Highlight "Yes" entries in green, "No" in red.
• KPIs on Dashboard: Use data bars for completion rates and color scales (green to red) based on performance thresholds (e.g., >90% = Green, 70–89% = Yellow, <70% = Red).
