Sheet Names

All fields use standardized data types: numeric for quantities and dates, text for descriptions and names, and categorical values (e.g., status) to ensure consistency.

Formulas Required

The template relies on several dynamic formulas to maintain accuracy:

• =SUMIF(Supply List Master[Category], "Tools", Supply List Master[Required Quantity]) – Calculates total tools required across all goals.
• =COUNTIFS(Supply List Master[Status], "Pending") – Counts the number of outstanding supply items.
• =IF(AND(Supply List Master[Purchase Date Required] <= TODAY(), Supply List Master[Status]="Pending"), "Urgent", IF(Supply List Master[Status]="Delivered", "Completed", "On Track")) – Automatically flags overdue or delayed items.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, Goal Details, 3, FALSE) – Links supply items to their associated goal details for context.

Conditional Formatting

The template includes intelligent conditional formatting rules to highlight critical information:

• Pending Supplies (Red Highlight): Cells in the "Status" column that are marked as “Pending” will be highlighted in red.
• Overdue Alerts (Yellow): If a purchase date is due before today, the row turns yellow with an alert icon.
• Milestone Completion (Green): When a goal reaches 100% completion in the Progress Tracker, related supply rows turn green.
• Categorized Highlighting: Different background colors are applied based on Category (e.g., blue for software, green for furniture).
