Sheet Names

• 1. Dashboard: Centralized overview of habit performance and strategy milestones.

Table Structures and Columns

Sheet 1: Dashboard (Compact Overview)

The Dashboard is a minimal yet powerful interface presenting high-level KPIs derived from daily tracking. It features:

• Total Habits Tracked: Number of habits in the Habit List.
• Current Streak: Consecutive days with at least 70% habit completion.
• Average Completion Rate: Percentage average across all habits over the past 30 days.
• Top 3 Performing Habits: Identified based on consistent daily success rate.
• Upcoming Strategy Milestones: Linked from a separate "Strategy Calendar" section (optional).

Sheet 2: Daily Tracker (Core Habit Tracking)

This is the primary input sheet, designed to be compact with minimal scrolling. Each row represents a date, and each column corresponds to one habit.

Data Types:

• Date (Column A): Date type, formatted as "dd/mm/yyyy" or "mm/dd/yyyy". Auto-populates on new entries.
• Habit Columns (B onwards): Text or checkmark format. Cells are either blank, contain a ✓ (tick), or ✗ (cross).

Sheet 3: Habit List (Configuration)

This sheet defines the habits being tracked and links them to strategic objectives.

Formulas Required

• Daily Completion Rate (Dashboard):
  =AVERAGEIFS(DailyTracker!C:C, DailyTracker!C:C, "✓", DailyTracker!A:A, ">="&TODAY()-30)
  This computes the average completion rate of a habit over the last 30 days.
• Current Streak (Dashboard):
  =IFERROR(MATCH(FALSE, INDEX(DailyTracker!C:C="✓", ROW(DailyTracker!C:C)-ROW(DailyTracker!$C$1)+1, 0), 0), COUNTA(DailyTracker!C:C))
  Calculates consecutive days of success (using logical checks on filled cells).
• Monthly Summary – Habit Success Rate:
  =COUNTIF(MonthlySummary!B:B, "✓") / COUNTA(MonthlySummary!B:B)
  Applies to each habit column to get completion percentage for the month.

Conditional Formatting

• Daily Tracker:
  - Green fill for cells with ✓ (indicating success).
  - Red fill for ✗ (missed habit).
  - Gray tint to dates older than 30 days.
• Dashboard:
  - Color scales on completion rate: Green = High (>85%), Yellow = Medium (60–84%), Red = Low (<60%).
  - Conditional formatting for streaks: Blue if over 7 days, red if broken.
