Formulas Required

The template leverages essential Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain accuracy:

DURATION (mins): =IF(End_Time → converts time difference to minutes.


    Total Hours per Subject: =SUMIFS(Daily_Log[Duration (mins)], Daily_Log[Subject/Course], SubjectSummary!A2)/60 → sums duration by subject and converts to hours.
    Progress (%): =MIN(100, (Total Hours / Target Hours) * 100) → caps at 100% if over-target.
    Daily Average Study Time: =AVERAGE(Daily_Log[Duration (mins)])/60 → converts to hours.
    Total Monthly Study Hours: =SUM(Daily_Log[Duration (mins)])/60 → total across all sessions.



Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance data readability and highlight performance:

    DURATION (mins): Use color scales to show longer sessions in darker colors.
    Progress (%): Apply red if <70%, yellow if 70–90%, green if ≥90%.
    Status Column: Color cells based on selection (e.g., red for "To-Do", green for "Completed").
    Monthly Overview Table: Highlight metrics below target in red, above in green.
