Table Structures

The primary table is located on the "Main Supply List" sheet and is designed as a fully dynamic Excel Table (structured reference). The table includes 15 columns with precise data types to ensure accuracy and scalability. Each row represents a unique supply item.

Automatically calculated based on usage rate and reorder threshold.

Formula: =IF([@LastPurchaseDate]="", "", [@LastPurchaseDate] + 30*[@ReorderFrequency])

Weighted average price based on past purchases.

Formula: =AVERAGEIF(PurchaseHistory[Product], [@Product Name], PurchaseHistory[Price])

Calculated as: [Current Stock Level] * [Average Price per Unit]

Formula: =[@[Current Stock Level]] * [@[[Average Price per Unit]]]

Automatically populated status based on stock level.

Formula: =IF([@CurrentStockLevel]<=[@ReorderThreshold], "Low", IF([@CurrentStockLevel]=0, "Empty", "Sufficient"))

Formulas Required

• Auto-generated Item ID: =CONCAT("SUP-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) in the first row.
• Status Indicator: Dynamic IF statement comparing stock level to reorder threshold.
• Average Price per Unit: Uses AVERAGEIF across the Purchase History table based on product name.
Next Expected Reorder Date: Calculates based on average usage frequency (e.g., every 30 days).

Conditional Formatting

Multiple conditional formatting rules are applied to enhance visual clarity:

• Red Background: Items where "Current Stock Level" ≤ Reorder Threshold.
• Yellow Background: Items with status = "Low".
