Sheet Names

The workbook consists of three distinct sheets:

1. Product Inventory (Main): The central hub where all inventory items are listed, categorized, and updated weekly.
2. Daily Log: A daily log to record product usage throughout the week. This sheet captures actual consumption data used for automatic recalculations.
3. Dashboard & Summary: A visualization center featuring charts, reorder alerts, weekly trends, and an overview of inventory health.

Table Structures and Columns

Sheet 1: Product Inventory (Main)

This table contains the primary list of household products with their current status. The table is structured as follows:

Sheet 2: Daily Log

This sheet tracks daily usage of each product. It uses a pivot-style format where each row corresponds to a date and product.

Formulas Required

The template relies on several dynamic formulas:

• Cumulative Daily Usage Calculation: In the "Product Inventory" sheet, a SUMIFS formula calculates total usage per item across all entries in the Daily Log: =SUMIFS(DailyLog!C:C, DailyLog!B:B, [@Item ID])
• Current Stock Update: Calculates remaining stock based on initial stock minus total used: =[@[Current Stock Level]] - SUMIFS(DailyLog!C:C, DailyLog!B:B, [@Item ID])
• Reorder Suggestion Logic: Uses IF with logical test against threshold: =IF([@[Current Stock Level]] - SUMIFS(DailyLog!C:C, DailyLog!B:B, [@Item ID]) <= [@[Reorder Threshold]], "Yes", "No")
• Weekly Summary Totals: On the Dashboard sheet, SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF functions aggregate totals by category.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity:

• Reorder Alerts: If "Next Reorder Suggestion" is "Yes", the entire row turns red.
• Low Stock Warning: If current stock level drops below 20% of threshold, cells turn yellow.
• Daily Usage Trends: Data bars applied to "Units Used" column to visualize spike days.
• Categorical Color Coding: Each category (Groceries, Cleaning, etc.) has a distinct background color for quick scanning.
