SHEET NAMES AND FUNCTIONALITY

The template consists of three main sheets:

1. Planning View (Main Dashboard): The central hub displaying weekly planning, habit tracking, and inventory status at a glance.
2. Habit Tracker: A dedicated table for logging daily habits with progress indicators and streak counters.
3. Inventory Log: A comprehensive record of all warehouse stock items, including quantities, reorder levels, locations, and lead times.

The backbone of warehouse inventory control with real-time data:

FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Streak Counter (Habit Tracker):
  =IF(AND(Status=TRUE, ISBLANK(OFFSET([@Status],-1,0))), 1, IF(AND(Status=TRUE, OFFSET([@Status],-1,0)=TRUE), [@[Habit Streak Count]]+1, 0))
  This calculates consecutive days completed.
• Inventory Reorder Alert (Planning View):
  =IF(VLOOKUP(InventoryItemID, InventoryLog!$A:$H, 3, FALSE) <= VLOOKUP(InventoryItemID, InventoryLog!$A:$H, 4, FALSE), "RED", IF(VLOOKUP(InventoryItemID, InventoryLog!$A:$H, 3, FALSE) <= VLOOKUP(InventoryItemID, InventoryLog!$A:$H, 5, FALSE), "YELLOW", "GREEN"))
• Weekly Habit Completion Rate (Planning View):
  =COUNTIF(HabitTracker[Status], TRUE)/7 * 100
  Shows percentage of habits completed in the week.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

• Habits Column (Planning View): Green fill if TRUE, white if FALSE.
• Inventory Status Alert: Red text and fill for "RED", yellow for "YELLOW", green for "GREEN".
• Streak Counter (Habit Tracker): Color-coded based on streak length (e.g., Blue = 7+ days, Green = 3–6, Yellow = 1–2).
