Schedule of Sheets

3. Budget Summary: Displays a high-level view of estimated and actual expenditures across categories and timeframes.
4. Dashboard & Reports: Interactive visualizations with charts, KPIs, and filtering tools to support strategic education planning decisions.

Table Structure & Column Definitions (Supply Master List)

The core of the template is the Supply Master List, a well-structured table designed for clarity and scalability:

Formulas & Automation Features

• Status Column Formula:
    =IF([@Current Quantity] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Quantity] = 0, "Out of Stock", "Available"))
  Automatically updates based on current stock vs. threshold.
• Total Estimated Cost:
    =SUMPRODUCT(Quantity Range, Unit Cost Range)
  Used in the Budget Summary sheet to calculate total spend per category.
• Reorder Alert Indicator:
    =IF([@Status]="Low Stock", "REORDER NOW", "")
  Displays an alert in a separate column for easy identification.
• Automated ID Generation:
    =IF(A2="", "001", TEXT(MAX(INDIRECT("A:A"))+1,"000"))
  Ensures unique, sequential numbering without manual input.

Conditional Formatting (Professional Aesthetic)

To enhance readability and highlight critical information:

• Low Stock Status: Red background with white text.
• Out of Stock Status: Dark red fill with bold white font for urgent alerts.
• Above Threshold Levels: Green highlight to indicate sufficient stock.
• Budget Overruns (in Dashboard): Orange or red bars in charts when actual spend exceeds budgeted amount.
