To automate tracking and calculations:

=COUNTIF(HabitTracker!$F:$F, "Completed") / COUNTA(HabitTracker!$A:$A) - Monthly Total Savings (Financial View):
=SUMIFS('Financial View & Incentives'!$D:$D, 'Financial View & Incentives'!$A:$A, ">=1/1/2024", 'Financial View & Incentives'!$A:$A, "<=31/1/2024") - Streak Counter (Dashboard): Uses a combination of
SUMIFS,DATEDIF, and conditional logic to identify consecutive days completed. - Average Duration Efficiency:
=AVERAGEIF(HabitTracker!$F:$F, "Completed", HabitTracker!$E:$E) - Process Documentation Health Score: A calculated metric based on how many processes are active, updated monthly, and have defined success metrics.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and highlight key trends:
- Habit entries with "Skipped" status are highlighted in red.
- Completed habits are green; partial ones in yellow.
- In the Financial View, earned incentives turn light green; unearned remain gray.
