Formulas Required
The template leverages several Excel functions to ensure dynamic and accurate reporting:

=B2*C2(in the Supply List table) - Sum by Client & Project: Using
SUMIFS(SupplyList[Total Cost], SupplyList[Client], "Client A") - Count Distinct Supplies per Project: Use a helper column with
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2, A2)=1, 1, 0)and sum. - Last Used Date Update: Formula in the master list that pulls from the Project Log using
=MAXIFS(UsageDateRange, SupplyNameRange, [Supply Name]). - Status Flagging: Conditional logic to identify expired or inactive supplies using
IF(ISBLANK([Last Used Date]), "Never Used", IF([Status]="Expired", "Alert")).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue/Expired Supplies: Highlight in red if status is “Expired” or last used date is over 12 months ago.
- High-Cost Items: Yellow fill for supplies with cost > $50/month.
