Table Structures and Data Types

Daily Log (Main Table)

This table is the core of the template. It records both habit status and inventory updates on a per-day basis.

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Auto-populates with today’s date when new rows are added. | | Habit Name | Text (Dropdown List) | Pulls from the "Settings" sheet; e.g., “Drink 8 Glasses of Water,” “Morning Stretch.” | | Completed? (Yes/No) | Boolean (Yes/No) | Checkbox for marking habit completion. | | Time Spent (Minutes) | Number (Integer, 0–1440) | Tracks time invested in each habit. Optional but helpful for analytics. | | Item Name | Text (Dropdown List from Stock Inventory List) | Selects an item to track stock levels against. | | Quantity Used/Consumed | Number (Positive Integer or Decimal) | Records how many units were used on that day. | | New Stock Level After Use | Number (Auto-calculated) | Formula-driven; derived from current stock minus quantity used. | | Reorder Threshold Reached? | Boolean (Yes/No – Conditional Format) | Alerts if stock falls below threshold. |

Stock Inventory List

This is a static master list that defines all tracked items.

| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Item ID | Text (e.g., STK001) | Unique identifier for each item. | | Item Name | Text (e.g., Coffee Beans, Vitamin D Capsules) | Full name of the product. | | Category (Optional) | Text (Dropdown: Health, Office Supplies, Kitchen, etc.) | For filtering and categorization. | | Current Stock Level | Number (Integer or Decimal) | Current on-hand inventory. | | Reorder Threshold | Number (Integer or Decimal) | Minimum level before reorder is needed. | | Last Restocked Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Auto-updated when restocked via a macro or manual update. | | Supplier Name | Text (Optional) | Contact for reordering. |

Formulas Required

New Stock Level After Use: =VLOOKUP([@Item Name], 'Stock Inventory List'!$A:$F, 4, FALSE) - [@Quantity Used/Consumed]
Reorder Threshold Reached?: =IF([@New Stock Level After Use] <= INDEX('Stock Inventory List'!$D:$D, MATCH([@Item Name], 'Stock Inventory List'!$B:$B, 0)), "Yes", "No")
Daily Habit Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(Habit Tracker Summary!C:C, "Yes") / COUNTA(Habit Tracker Summary!C:C) (in summary sheet)
Habit Streak Calculator: Uses a combination of SUMPRODUCT, OFFSET, and logical checks to determine consecutive days completed. Example:
=IF([@Completed?] = "Yes", IF(Previous Row is Yes, Previous Streak + 1, 1), 0)
Reorder Alert Count: =COUNTIF('Daily Log'!F:F, "Yes") (in Reorder Alerts Dashboard)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Habit Status: Green fill for “Yes”, Red for “No”.
Low Stock Alert: Highlight entire row in yellow if Reorder Threshold Reached? = “Yes”.
Habit Streaks: Gold color for streaks ≥7 days; purple for ≥30 days.
Daily Progress Bar (in Dashboard): Color-coded progress based on % completion vs. target (e.g., 80%+ = green, below 60% = red).
