Sheet Names & Purpose

1. Dashboard (Main View): The central hub featuring key performance indicators (KPIs), trend visualizations, habit streak tracking, and operational health scores.
2. Habit Tracker - Data Entry: The core data collection sheet where users log daily habit completion, effort level, time spent, and operational impact notes.
3. Historical Performance: Stores long-term data for analysis; auto-updates as new entries are added.
4. Formula Reference & Guidelines: Contains detailed explanations of all formulas used in the template for transparency and troubleshooting.
5. Data Validation Rules: Defines allowed input values, dropdown options, and error-checking protocols to maintain data integrity.

Table Structure & Columns (Habit Tracker - Data Entry Sheet)

The main table on the 'Habit Tracker - Data Entry' sheet consists of 10 structured columns:

Key Formulas Required

• Habit Streak Counter: =IF(B3=TRUE, IF(ROW()-1=MIN(IF($B$2:B2=FALSE, ROW($B$2:B2))), 1, OFFSET(C:C, -1, 0) + 1), 0)
  (This formula checks the previous row’s completion status and increments streaks for consecutive “Yes” values.)
• Weekly Habit Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(B:B, TRUE)/COUNTA(A:A)*100
  (Calculates overall success rate across all entries.)
• Average Impact Score by Category: =AVERAGEIF(D:D, "Operational Efficiency", H:H)
  (Enables category-wise performance benchmarking.)
• Days with High Operational Impact (Score ≥ 4): =COUNTIF(H:H, ">=4")
• Data Validation Rule: Apply data validation to “Completion Status” using a dropdown list: Yes/No. This ensures clean, consistent input.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and immediate feedback, the following conditional formatting rules are applied across key sheets:

• Habit Streaks: Green fill for streaks ≥ 5 days; orange for 3–4; red for less than 3.
• Impact Score: Color scale from red (1) to green (5), with a midpoint at yellow (3).
• Effort vs. Impact Scatter Plot: Highlight cells where effort is high (>4) but impact is low (<3) in bright pink to flag inefficient habits.
• Date Column: Automatically highlight today's date using a formula-based rule: =A1=TODAY()
