Table Structure and Columns (Supply Master List)

The Supply Master List is the backbone of this detailed marketing planning tool. It contains a structured table with 18 columns designed to capture every critical detail:

• Last Updated By: =USER()
• Late Delivery Indicator: In a separate column, use: =IF(AND(Actual_Delivery_Date="", Estimated_Delivery_Date< TODAY(), Procurement_Status="In Transit"), "Overdue", "")
• Total Campaign Cost: On the Dashboard sheet: =SUMIFS(Supply_Master_List[Total Cost], Supply_Master_List[Purpose/Campaign Name], [Campaign_Name])

Conditional Formatting

• Overdue Deliveries: Red fill with black text for rows where Estimated Delivery Date has passed and Actual Delivery Date is blank.
• Pending Supplies: Yellow highlight for items with “Not Started” or “Ordered” status and delivery date within 7 days.
