Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic Excel formulas to automate tracking and analysis:

• Status Column Formula: =IF([@Current Quantity] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Quantity] = 0, "Out of Stock", "OK"))
• Monthly Summary – Total Items Checked: =COUNTIFS('Daily Supply Tracker'!$A:$A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1), 'Daily Supply Tracker'!$A:$A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1))
• Items Reordered (by month): =COUNTIFS('Daily Supply Tracker'!$A:$A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1), 'Daily Supply Tracker'!$A:$A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1), 'Daily Supply Tracker'!$F:$F, "Low Stock")
• Average Daily Usage (per category): =SUMIFS('Daily Supply Tracker'!$C:$C, 'Daily Supply Tracker'!$D:$D, "Cleaning")/30 (adjust divisor by actual days in month)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and usability:

• Status Column:
  • "Out of Stock" → Red background with white text
  • "Low Stock" → Orange background with bold text
  • "OK" → Green background with dark green text
• Current Quantity vs Reorder Threshold:
  • Highlight rows where Current Quantity ≤ Reorder Threshold in yellow if within 1 unit, red if below by 2+ units.

User Instructions

1. Setup Phase: Open the template and navigate to "Supply Categories & Preferences". Add your household’s supply items, assign categories, and set reorder thresholds (e.g., 3 rolls for toilet paper).
2. Daily Usage: Each day (preferably morning or evening), open the "Daily Supply Tracker" tab. For each item listed in your home inventory:
   • Enter the current count.
   • Check if it’s below threshold.
   • Add notes if needed (e.g., “Used 2 rolls today”).
3. Reordering: When Status shows "Low Stock" or "Out of Stock", add the item to your shopping list. Record the order in the "Reorder History Log" with date, supplier, and cost.
4. Monthly Review: At month-end, review the "Monthly Summary Dashboard". Use trends to adjust thresholds (e.g., if you use 50% more dish soap during holidays).
