FORMULAS REQUIRED

The following formulas are embedded to automate calculations and enhance usability:

• =SUMIFS(C:C, D:D, "Personal Time") – Sums total time spent on personal resources.
• =VLOOKUP(A2,'Resource Allocation Plan'!$A:$B,2,FALSE) – Links habits to allocated resource types.
• =IF(E2 > $E$100, "Over Budget", "") – Flags if resource allocation exceeds monthly cap.
• =SUMPRODUCT((H:H="Completed") * (I:I >= 3)) – Calculates number of high-priority completed habits.
• =DATEDIF(A1, TODAY(), "m") – Tracks how many months have passed since goal start.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical data:

• Red Highlight: If habit status is “Missed” or time spent exceeds 90% of allocated time.
• Green Highlight: If completion rate ≥ 85% across all habits in a week.
• Yellow Warning: When resource allocation exceeds monthly cap by more than 10%.
• Bold Text: For goals with status “Behind” or “On Track” for the month ending.
