Formulas Required

This template leverages Excel’s powerful formula engine to ensure dynamic and automatic updates:

• =IF(C2="Completed", 1, 0): Used in daily status conversion to calculate completion flags.
• =SUMIFS(Status_Column, Date_Column, ">="&A2, Date_Column, "<="&B2): To count completed days in a given period.

• =MAX(StreaksRange): Finds the longest current streak for visual tracking.
• =IF(TODAY()-D2 > 7, "Needs Review", ""): Flags habits with long gaps in completion.

• Streak Count (Color Gradient): From light blue (1-3 days) to bright green (>10 days).
• Daily Completion Rate: Automatically turns yellow if below 80% or red if below 60%.
• Skipped Habit Alerts: Cells in the Status column turn red when a habit is marked “Skipped” and not within 3 days of completion.
