Table Structure and Columns (Weekly Checklist Sheet)

Formulas Used

To ensure automation and accuracy, the following formulas are implemented:

• Status Column (Cell F2): =IF(E2=0,"Critical",IF(C2 <= D2,"Low Stock","Normal")) This compares current quantity to reorder threshold and categorizes the status.
• Next Reorder Date (Cell G2): =IF(F2="Critical",TODAY()+1, IF(F2="Low Stock",TODAY()+3, TODAY()+7)) Sets a reorder reminder based on urgency.
• Weekly Usage Estimate: Pre-filled from historical data in the "Monthly Summary" sheet using AVERAGEIF for trend analysis.
• Shopping List Generator (Sheet 4): Uses FILTER and COUNTIFS functions to pull only items with “Low Stock” or “Critical” status.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual management, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red Background: For any row where Status is “Critical” (current quantity ≤ reorder threshold).
• Yellow Background: For “Low Stock” status items.
• Green Text: In the Next Reorder Date column for dates within the next 3 days.
• Data Bars: Applied to Current Quantity to visualize stock levels at a glance.
