Sheet Structure Overview

Table Structures and Data Types

The core of the template is built around structured tables with clearly defined columns and data types to ensure accuracy and ease of filtering. Here’s a breakdown of the primary table on the Main Supply List (Master) sheet:

All tables are formatted as Excel Tables (using Ctrl+T) to enable dynamic filtering, sorting, and structured references in formulas.

Formulas and Automation

• Auto-Incrementing Supply ID: Uses the formula =IFERROR(MAX('Main Supply List'!A:A)+1, 1000) in cell A2 (starts at 1000 for clarity).
• Total Cost Calculation: In the Total Cost column: =IF([@Quantity Required]="" OR [@Unit Cost]="", "", [@Quantity Required]*[@Unit Cost])
• Due Date Status Indicator: Uses =IF([@Status]="Delivered", "✓", IF(TODAY()>[@Expected Delivery Date], "⚠️ Overdue", IF(TODAY()>=DATE(YEAR([@Expected Delivery Date]), MONTH([@Expected Delivery Date]), DAY([@Expected Delivery Date])-3), "🟡 Urgent", "🟢 On Track")))
• Auto-Update User & Timestamp: Last Updated By uses =USER() and Last Updated Date uses =TODAY().
• Summary Calculations (in Dashboard Sheet):
  • Total Budgeted Spend: SUM('Main Supply List'!F:F) where F is Total Cost column.
  • Count of Items by Status: COUNTIF('Main Supply List'!H:H, "Delivered")
  • Upcoming Deliveries (Next 7 days): =COUNTIFS('Main Supply List'!I:I, ">="&TODAY(), 'Main Supply List'!I:I, "<"&TODAY()+8)

Conditional Formatting

To improve visual clarity and rapid assessment of supply status:

• Overdue Deliveries: Apply red fill with white text to any row where Expected Delivery Date is before today and Status ≠ Delivered.
• Urgent Items: Yellow highlight for deliveries expected within 3 days (use formula: =AND([@Status]<>"Delivered", [@Expected Delivery Date] <= TODAY()+3)).
• High-Cost Supplies: Green highlight for items with Total Cost > $1,000 (using conditional formatting rule with custom formula).
• Status Indicators: Use emoji icons (✓, ⚠️, 🟡) as cell values and apply color-coded background based on status.
