FUNNELS AND FORMULAS REQUIRED
The template uses several automated formulas to enhance compliance tracking:
- Auto ID Generation:
=TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"PID-000")(starts from PID-001) - Status Logic:
=IF(TODAY()>[Expiry Date], "Expired", IF([Last Compliance Check] = "", "Pending", IF(NOW()-[Last Compliance Check] > 30, "Pending", "In Compliance"))) - Next Check Due:
=IF([Status]="In Compliance", [Last Compliance Check]+30, IF([Status]="Expired", TODAY(), [Last Compliance Check]+15)) - Expiry Warning: Conditional formatting uses a formula to highlight rows where Expiry Date is within 14 days.
- Count of Expired Items:
=COUNTIF([Status], "Expired")
COLOR-CODED CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES
- Red Highlight: Products with Expiry Date in the past or within 14 days (via formula:
=AND([Expiry Date] <= TODAY(), [Status] <> "Expired")) - Yellow Highlight: Items due for compliance check within 7 days (formula:
[Next Check Due] <= TODAY()+7) - Green Highlight: Products in "In Compliance" status with no upcoming alerts.
- Orange Highlight: Items with "Recall Alert" or high-risk designation.
