Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel’s powerful formula engine to ensure data accuracy and real-time updates:

• SUMIFS() or COUNTIFS(): To calculate total habit completions across weeks/months.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance user engagement and provide immediate visual feedback, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Green fill (80%+ completion rate): Indicates strong consistency.
• Yellow fill (50–79%): Signals moderate progress; prompts review.
• Red fill (<50%): Highlights habits requiring immediate attention or adjustment.
• Streak highlight (e.g., 7+ days): Emphasizes successful daily patterns with a bold green border.
• Date-based alerts: A red warning appears when the current date exceeds the target start date for inactive habits.
