TODAY() and WEEKDAY(): Auto-sets current date and detects weekdays for habit tracking.
SUMIF(): Sums completed tasks by priority level or user.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses dynamic conditional formatting to highlight performance trends:
Green highlights for habit completion above 90% (success).
