Table Structures & Columns

The primary Main Supply List worksheet contains a structured table with the following columns and corresponding data types:

Formulas Required

The template leverages built-in Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual errors. Key formulas include:

• Auto-Calculate Expiry Date: =IF(ISBLANK([@Issue Date]), "", [@Issue Date] + 365)
• Next Renewal Due (30 days before expiry): =IF(AND([@Expiry Date]<> "", [@Expiry Date]-DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(TODAY())) <= 30), "Renewal Due Soon", "")
• Risk Level: =IF([@Status]="Overdue", "High", IF(AND([@Status]="Pending Renewal", [@Expiry Date]-TODAY()<=30), "Medium", IF([@Status]="Active", "Low","Unknown")))
• Count Overdue Items: =COUNTIF(MainSupplyList[Current Status], "Overdue") (used on Dashboard)
• VLOOKUP for Vendor Info: Pulls vendor address, contact, and compliance history from a centralized vendor master sheet.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and identify at-risk items instantly, the following conditional formatting rules are applied across the Main Supply List:

• Red Fill: Any row where Expiry Date < TODAY() (Overdue).
• Orange Fill: Rows where [Next Renewal Due] is within 30 days.
• Green Fill: Rows with status “Active” and expiry in more than 60 days.
• Yellow Text: For entries with “Pending Renewal” and less than 15 days left before expiry.
