Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel's powerful formula capabilities to maintain real-time data integrity and automation:

• =AVERAGE(StudyPlanner!D:D): Calculates the average time allocated per session.
• =SUMIFS(ChoreTracker!C:C, ChoreTracker!B:B, "Yes"): Totals completed chores (if column C contains "Yes" or TRUE).
• =IFERROR((COUNTIF(StudyPlanner!$F:$F, "Completed") / COUNTA(StudyPlanner!$A:$A)) * 100, 0): Computes completion percentage for study tasks.
• =FILTER(StudyPlanner!B:B, StudyPlanner!E:E="Completed"): (Requires Excel 365) Filters completed subjects.
