Converts total minutes into hours.
Average Session Duration:
=AVERAGEIF('Study Schedule'!A:A, ">="&TODAY()-7, 'Study Schedule'!C:C)
Calculates average study time over the last 7 days.
Monthly Savings Total:
=SUMIFS('Savings Tracker'!E:E, 'Savings Tracker'!A:A, ">= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1, 'Savings Tracker'!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
Sum of savings from the current month.
Goal Completion Percentage:
=IF('Dashboard'!G2=0, 0%, ('Dashboard'!F2 / 'Dashboard'!G2) * 100)
Calculates how close users are to their monthly savings target.

Conditional Formatting

Study Schedule – Progress Level:
Apply red-to-green gradient for cells in column D (Progress Level) to visually represent progress: below 30% = red, 30–69% = yellow, 70–100% = green.
Savings Tracker – Remaining to Goal:
Highlight cells in column F:
- Red if remaining < £5 (urgent need)
- Orange if remaining between £5 and £20
- Green if remaining ≥ £20 or goal reached.
Dashboard – Goal Completion:
Apply color scale: red for < 30%, yellow for 30–79%, green for ≥80%.
