Sheet Names

• Data Entry Sheet (Main): The primary workspace where users log daily inventory counts and habit completions.
• Dashboards & Analytics: A summarized view with charts, KPIs, and visual insights into both inventory trends and habit consistency.
• Settings & Instructions: A reference guide with formula explanations, user tips, and template customization notes.

Table Structures

The template uses two core tables:

1. Inventory Control Table (Located on Data Entry Sheet)

2. Habit Tracker Table (Located on Data Entry Sheet)

Both tables are aligned on the same date, enabling users to track daily habits alongside inventory activities—creating a holistic view of operational discipline.

Formulas Required

• =D2 + E2 - F2: Calculates final stock count in column G.
• =IF(G2 <= 5, "Low", IF(G2 = 0, "Out of Stock", "OK")): Determines inventory status (in column H).
• =IF(D2="Yes", 1, 0): Converts habit completion into a numeric value for tracking.
• =AVERAGEIFS(Habit_Completed_Column, Date_Column, ">="&DATE(2024,1,1), Date_Column, "<="&TODAY()): Calculates habit success rate over time.
• =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Low"): Counts how many inventory items are currently at low stock levels.

These formulas are pre-configured in the template and located in the designated cells. Users can expand or modify them as needed.

Conditional Formatting

• Inventory Status (Column H):
  • "Out of Stock" → Red background, bold text.
  • "Low" → Orange background.
  • "OK" → Green background.
• Habit Completion (Column D):
  • Yes → Green fill, checkmark icon (via Emoji).
  • No → Red fill, X icon.
• Dates in the Past: Automatically grayed out using conditional formatting rules based on TODAY() function.

These visual cues improve readability and allow users to identify issues at a glance.
