Formulas Required

The template uses built-in Excel formulas for real-time calculations:

Study Planner: Total Study Time (Month)
=SUMIF('Study Planner'!A:A, ">=1/4/2024", 'Study Planner'!D:D)
(Adjust date range as needed; uses actual time column D.)
Percentage of Completed Sessions
=COUNTIF('Study Planner'!E:E, "Completed") / COUNTA('Study Planner'!E:E) * 100
Savings: Total This Month
=SUMIFS('Savings Log'!C:C, 'Savings Log'!A:A, ">=1/4/2024", 'Savings Log'!A:A, "<=30/4/2024")
Savings Goal Progress
=MIN(1, (SUMIFS('Savings Log'!C:C, 'Savings Log'!B:B, "Emergency Fund") / 500)) * 100 (Replace "500" with actual goal.)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance usability and visual feedback:

Study Planner – Status Highlighting:
- "Completed" → Green fill
- "In Progress" → Yellow fill
- "Postponed" → Red fill
Actual vs Planned Time:
If actual time > planned time, highlight row in orange. Use rule: =D2>C2
Savings Progress Bar (Dashboard):
Use data bars for "Savings Rate" column to show progress visually.

Instructions for the User

After studying, update the "Actual Time" and set the status accordingly.
