TABLE STRUCTURES & COLUMNS

Supply Inventory Sheet

This is the core table where all supply items are logged. Each row represents a unique marketing asset.

Campaign Timeline Sheet

This sheet maps marketing campaign dates to required supply items.

FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Total Estimated Cost ($): =D2*E2 in Supply Inventory.
• Risk Level:

  =IF(H2<=TODAY()+7,"High",IF(H2<=TODAY()+14,"Medium","Low"))

• Total Supply Items Needed in Campaign Timeline:

  =COUNTIF(SupplyInventory!$K:$K, [@Campaign Name])

• Total Estimated Cost per Campaign:

  =SUMIF(SupplyInventory!$K:$K, [@Campaign Name], SupplyInventory!$F:F)

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

• Status Column: Green for “Delivered”, Yellow for “In Transit”, Red for “Not Ordered” or “Cancelled”.
• Risk Level: Red background if "High", Amber if "Medium", Green if "Low".
• Campaign Timeline: Highlight rows where Total Estimated Cost exceeds budget cap (e.g., >$10,000).
