Table Structures and Columns (Daily Tracking Log)

The core of the template is the Daily Tracking Log, which combines inventory and habit data in a single timeline-based table.

The table includes 14 columns in total, structured as follows:

• Date (YYYY-MM-DD): Date of entry; formatted as date for sorting and filtering.
• Item ID: Unique inventory identifier (e.g., INV-003).
• Description: Full name or category of the item (e.g., "Blue Notebook 100pg").
• Current Stock Level (Qty): Number of units currently in stock.
• Reorder Threshold (Qty): Minimum quantity before restocking is triggered.
• Habit: Daily Check-In: Yes/No or 1/0 to indicate habit completion.
• Habit: Exercise: Boolean checkmark or numeric rating (1–5).
• Habit: Hydration (8 Glasses): Number of glasses consumed that day.
• Habit: Reading (30 min): Duration in minutes; 0 if not done.
• Notes: Free text for exceptions, stock issues, or habit challenges.
• Stock Adjustment (+/-): Additions or removals from inventory (e.g., +10, -5).
• Adjusted Stock Level: Formula-based field showing updated quantity.
• Status: Automated status (e.g., "In Stock", "Low", "Out of Stock").
• Category (Inventory): Type of item (e.g., Stationery, Electronics, Raw Materials).

Formulas Required

• Adjusted Stock Level:
  =Current Stock Level (Qty) + Stock Adjustment (+/-)
  This formula auto-updates the stock level after changes are logged.
• Status:
  =IF(Adjusted Stock Level <= Reorder Threshold, "Low", IF(Adjusted Stock Level = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
• Reorder Alerts (in Sheet 4):
  =FILTER('Daily Tracking Log'!A:E, 'Daily Tracking Log'!K:K="Low") (using dynamic array formulas in Excel 365)
• Habit Completion Rate:
  =COUNTIF(Habit:Exercise, "1") / COUNT(Habit:Exercise) * 100 (in Dashboard sheet)

Conditional Formatting

• Low Stock: Highlight cells in the “Adjusted Stock Level” column if below the reorder threshold (e.g., red fill).
• Habit Progress: Use data bars for hydration and reading habits to visually track consistency.
• Status Column: Color code cell backgrounds: green ("In Stock"), yellow ("Low"), red ("Out of Stock").
• Daily Tracker Row Highlighting: Apply alternating row colors (zebra striping) for better readability.
