Table Structures & Columns (Main Supply List)

The core of the template is the Main Supply List, structured as a dynamic Excel table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template leverages several key Excel formulas to automate tracking and reduce manual effort:

• Status Column Formula: =IF([@Current Quantity] <= [@Reorder Level], IF([@Current Quantity] = 0, "Out of Stock", "Low Stock"), "In Stock")
• Last Purchased Date Update (via Purchase Log): Uses a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH combination to pull the latest purchase date from the Purchase Log sheet.
• Next Expected Delivery: =IF([@Last Purchased Date] <> "", [@Last Purchased Date] + 7, "") (assuming average 7-day delivery; adjustable).
• Total Items per Category (in Category Overview): Uses SUMIFS to count items by category.
• Count of Low Stock Items: =COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Low Stock")

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and prioritize actions, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red Highlight for “Out of Stock” items: Text color red and fill background red.
• Amber/Yellow for “Low Stock”: Fill color yellow to draw attention to items needing restock soon.
• Silver Background for Expired Items: If an item has not been purchased in over 12 months, its row is shaded silver (using a formula checking Last Purchased Date).
• Green Tint for “In Stock” items: Provides positive visual feedback on well-stocked supplies.
