Table Structures & Data Types

The core data structure in the Supply List (Daily) sheet is a dynamic table that captures daily supply entries. The table consists of the following columns:

All data types are standardized:

• Date: Date/Time type (auto-formatted)
• Item Name, Description: Text (up to 100 characters)
• UOM: Dropdown list (e.g., Kg, Liters, Units)
• Quantity Required: Integer or decimal
• Unit Price and Total Cost: Currency (USD), auto-calculated
• Status: Dropdown with "Pending", "Approved", "Received"
• Remarks: Text field for notes (optional)

Formulas Required

The template includes several essential formulas:

• Total Cost (USD): =C5 * D5 (Quantity × Unit Price) – automatically populated in column G.
• Day Summary Total: =SUM(G2:G100) – used in Financial Summary sheet to calculate daily spending.
• Average Daily Cost: =AVERAGEIFS(G2:G100, A2:A100, ">=today()-7") – tracks past 7-day average for budget comparisons.
• Cost Variance: =IF(B2>Budget!B2, "Over Budget", IF(B2
• Count of Pending Orders: =COUNTIF(H2:H100, "Pending") – used for tracking delays.

Conditional Formatting

Key conditional formatting rules are applied to ensure data visibility and alert users to anomalies:

• Total Cost > $500: Highlight in red background with yellow text (high expense alert).
• Status = "Pending": Background color turns orange, indicating delays.
• Date is more than 7 days old: Row is faded gray to indicate outdated entries.
• Unit Price exceeds 10x average: Highlighted in bold blue to flag unusually high costs.
