Table Structures and Columns (Daily Study Log)

The Daily Study Log is structured as a dynamic table starting at cell A1. It includes the following columns:

Formulas Required

To maintain dynamic tracking and automation, the following formulas are integrated:

• Streak Calculation (Habit Tracker Dashboard):
  =IF(DailyStudyLog[Date]=TODAY(), "Today", IF(AND(DailyStudyLog[Date]=TODAY()-1, COUNTA(FILTER(DailyStudyLog[Date], DailyStudyLog[Habit] = "Studied"))>0), 1, 0))
  (Note: This example uses array logic; actual implementation leverages OFFSET, SUMPRODUCT, and FILTER functions depending on Excel version.)
• Total Study Hours per Week:
  =SUMIFS(DailyStudyLog[Study Duration (minutes)], DailyStudyLog[Date], ">="&TODAY()-6, DailyStudyLog[Date], "<="&TODAY()) / 60
• Focus Average:
  =AVERAGEIF(DailyStudyLog[Date], ">=1/1/2024", DailyStudyLog[Focus Level (1-5)])

Conditional Formatting Rules

Enhanced visual feedback is achieved through conditional formatting applied across multiple sheets:

• Daily Study Log:
  - Green fill for cells in "Focus Level" with values ≥4.
  - Orange for values 3.
  - Red for values ≤2.
• Habit Tracker Dashboard:
  - Color scale applied to the "Streak Length" column (green → yellow → red). - Icon sets in the "Completion Status" column (✔️, ⚠️, ❌) based on task completion rate.
