Formulas Required for Automation

The template leverages Excel's powerful formula engine to ensure dynamic functionality:

• Streak Calculation (D, Daily Habits Tracker): Uses a combination of IF, AND, and EDATE functions to increment or reset streaks based on date continuity.
• Weekly Study Hours Summary: SUMIFS function across the Data Entry sheet to calculate total study time per week.
• Completion Rate (Dashboards Sheet): Calculates percentage of habits completed versus scheduled, using COUNTIF and COUNTA functions.
• Status Indicator (E, Daily Habits Tracker): Uses IF and TODAY() to compare last completion date with current date for real-time status updates.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and user engagement, the template includes:

• Habit Streaks: Green fill for streaks ≥ 7 days, yellow for 3–6 days, red for ≤ 2 days.
• Study Duration: Color scale based on duration (e.g., less than 30 min = light red; over 90 min = dark green).
• Task Progress: Conditional formatting applied to the "Task Progress" column to highlight completed tasks in green and overdue tasks in red.
