Table Structures & Columns (Weekly Schedule & Habit Tracker Sheet)

Data Types & Structure

• Date (Monday-Sunday): Text format with date values. Cells are locked to prevent accidental changes.
• Habit Category: Dropdown list containing options like "Study Focus", "Reading", "Practice Problems", "Review & Revision", and "Notes Writing".
• Habit Name: Text input for specific study activities (e.g., “Solve 10 Chemistry Questions”, “Write Essay Draft”).
• Target Time (minutes): Numeric input; users enter their intended study duration.
• Actual Time Spent (minutes): User-input cell for actual minutes spent. Formulas reference this to calculate success.
• Status (✓/✗): Formula-driven cell showing a checkmark (✓) if the habit was completed on time, or an X (✗) otherwise.
• Notes: Text field for recording insights, distractions, or improvements for future planning.

Formulas Required

• =IF(D3="", "", IF(E3>=D3, "✓", "✗")): Compares actual time spent (E3) against target time (D3) to determine completion.
• =COUNTIF(F:F, "✓"): Counts the number of completed habits in the current week across all rows.
• =COUNTA(A:A)-1: Calculates total number of entries (excluding header row).
• =ROUND((COUNTIF(F:F,"✓") / (COUNTA(A:A)-1)) * 100, 1): Computes weekly habit completion percentage.
• =MAX(IF(ROW(F:F)>=ROW(F2), IF(F:F="✓", ROW(F:F)))): Used in dashboard to identify longest streak (array formula).

Conditional Formatting

• Green highlight on cells with "✓" status.
• Red highlight on cells with "✗" status.
• Data bars in the “Actual Time Spent” column to visualize time distribution across habits.
• Color scale applied to completion percentage (green for >80%, yellow for 60–80%, red for below 60%).

Instructions for Use

2. Define target durations: Enter your ideal study time for each habit in minutes.
