Data Types and Formulas Required

The template leverages robust Excel formulas to ensure dynamic data integrity:

• Total Cost Column (in Supply List Sheet): =C5 * D5 (Cost per Unit × Quantity)
• Auto-Calculation of Total Supply Cost: =SUM(E:E) in a summary row for cost tracking.
• Milestone Date Dependency: Uses IF logic to show status based on dates: e.g., =IF(TODAY() > E2, "Overdue", IF(TODAY() > E2 - 30, "On Track", "Pending"))
• Goal Status Update via VLOOKUP: Pulls goal priority and status from the Goal Overview sheet to update sub-goals.
• Dynamic Links: Each supply item is linked to its corresponding goal via a lookup field (Goal ID) enabling cross-referencing.

Conditional Formatting

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting for visibility and alerting:

• Red Highlight: When a milestone date is past (e.g., in the Goal Breakdown sheet).
• Orange Highlight: For goals with high priority or pending budget approvals.
• Green Highlight: For completed milestones and on-time deliveries.
• Different Backgrounds by Priority: High → Light red, Moderate → Yellow, Low → Light green.
• Supply Quantity Warning: If quantity required exceeds 100 units, a yellow warning is triggered.
