Sheet Names

The template includes only one primary sheet titled:

• Project & Habit Tracker

This single sheet serves as the central hub for all project-related activities and personal habit tracking. No separate sheets are required, ensuring simplicity and ease of access—perfect for users who value clarity, speed, and one-page workflows.

Table Structure and Data Organization

The primary table is structured around three core categories: Project Tasks, Habit Actions, and Weekly Performance Metrics. The table spans across six main sections within a single column layout optimized for readability:

1. Project Title & Objective
2. Task List with Due Dates and Status
3. Habit Tracker Entries (Daily/Weekly)
4. Progress Summary Dashboard
5. Team Collaboration Log (with comments and notes)
<6. Weekly Review Summary Table

The table spans 12 columns and contains over 50 rows, with flexible row heights to accommodate variable project scopes.

Columns and Data Types

The following columns are included, each with a specific data type:

Formulas Required

The template includes the following key formulas to automate tracking:

• =IF(C2="","", "Project: "&C2) – Automatically links task/project name to status.
• =IF(E3="Yes", 1, 0) – Calculates completion rate for habit tracking (used in summary dashboard).
• =SUMIFS(F:F, D:D,"Task", G:G,"In Progress") – Counts total active tasks.
• =COUNTIF(H:H,"Yes") / COUNTA(H:H) * 100 – Calculates % of completed habits (with conditional formatting).
• =TEXT(TODAY()-D2, "dd mmm yyyy") – Shows days since last tracking entry.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, Task_Priorities!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Pulls priority levels from a defined lookup table (optional).

Conditional Formatting

The template uses dynamic conditional formatting to enhance visibility and alert users:

• Status Column (Green/Yellow/Red): Green = Completed, Yellow = In Progress, Red = Overdue.
• Priority Level (Color-coded bars): High → Red, Medium → Orange, Low → Green.
• Completion Rate: If percentage > 80%, highlighted in green; < 50% in red.
• Due Date Highlighting: Cells with due dates less than 3 days away turn orange.
