Table Structures & Columns

Event Supplies List (Sheet: "Event Supplies")
Used to plan materials needed for individual events. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|------------| | Event ID | Text/Number (e.g., EVT-001) | Unique ID assigned per event | | Event Name | Text | e.g., "Summer Music Festival 2024" | | Date of Event | Date | Scheduled event date | | Location | Text (e.g., "Central Park, NY") | Physical or virtual venue | | Required Items (Item ID) | Text/Number (Linked to Inventory Master) | Reference item ID from master list | | Quantity Needed | Number (Integer) | How many units are required for this event | | Status (Pending/Allocated/Received/Used) | Text (Dropdown: Pending, Allocated, Received, Used) | Tracks progress of supply fulfillment |3. Event Planner Dashboard (Sheet: "Dashboard")
Real-time status tracker with key performance indicators. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|------------| | Event ID | Text/Number | Links to event list | | Status Summary | Text (Conditional) | Color-coded status based on inventory and timeline | | Inventory Availability % | Percentage (Formula-based) | Calculated as: (Available Stock / Required Quantity) × 100 | | Deadline Alert Status | Icon + Text (Conditional Formatting) | Red flag if event is in less than 7 days and supplies are not confirmed |Formulas Required
The template uses several powerful Excel formulas to automate insights:- Inventory Availability Check:
=IF([@Quantity Needed]=0, "N/A", IF([@Current Stock Quantity] >= [@Quantity Needed], "In Stock", "Low/Needs Restock")) - Reorder Alert:
=IF([@Current Stock Quantity] <= [@Reorder Point], "REORDER REQUIRED", "") - Duplicate Detection (Event Supplies):
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$100,[@Event ID],$C$2:$C$100,[@Item ID]) > 1 - Status Summary (Dashboard):
=IF(AND([@Deadline] <= TODAY()+7, [@Status] <> "Confirmed"), "URGENT", IF(@Status = "Completed", "Done", "")) - Automatic Date Tracking: Use
=TODAY()in summary cells to auto-update timelines.
Conditional Formatting
Key visual cues are applied for instant recognition:- In Stock / Low Stock: Green background if stock ≥ needed; red if stock < reorder point.
- Urgent Events: Amber highlight with bold text if event is within 7 days and supplies aren't confirmed.
- Reorder Required: Red text with warning icon when current stock is below reorder point.
