Sheet Names

The workbook contains three core sheets:

1. 1. Main Supply List: The primary data entry sheet where users maintain a comprehensive inventory of household supplies.
2. 2. Categories & Settings: A configuration sheet for customizing supply categories, default reorder thresholds, units of measure, and preferred storage locations.

Table Structure – Main Supply List (Sheet 1)

The Main Supply List is structured as a fully expandable table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template uses several Excel formulas to automate tracking and enhance usability:

• Status Column: =IF([@CurrentStock] <= [@ReorderThreshold], "Critical", IF([@CurrentStock] <= [@ReorderThreshold]*1.5, "Low", "In Stock"))
• Next Due Date: =IF(AND([@Last Restock Date]<>"", [@Last Used Date]<>""), [@Last Restock Date] + (TODAY()-[@Last Used Date])*14, "")
  (Assumes an average 14-day usage cycle; can be adjusted in settings.)
• Usage Rate Estimate: A hidden column calculates average daily consumption using historical data if multiple entries exist.
• Total Items by Category: Uses SUMIFS() to count items per category for dashboard summaries.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight urgent items, the template includes:

• Red Fill & Bold Text: For "Critical" status entries (current stock ≤ reorder threshold).
• Yellow Fill: For "Low" status entries (stock between 50% and 100% of threshold).
• Green Fill: For items in sufficient stock.
• Date Highlighting: Items with a "Next Due Date" within the next 7 days are highlighted in orange to signal imminent restocking needs.
