TABLE STRUCTURE AND COLUMNS (Supply List Sheet)

The main data table in the Supply List (Main) sheet is structured around core marketing supply categories. It includes 10 key columns designed to capture essential planning and logistical details:

FORMULAS REQUIRED

To maintain accuracy and automation, the following formulas are implemented:

• Supply ID (Column A): =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000") — Auto-generates ID in format “SUP-XXX” using a simple counter.
• Total Cost (Column G): =IF(AND(E2>=1,F2>=0),E2*F2,"") — Ensures cost is calculated only if quantity and unit price are valid.
• Overdue Status (in Dashboard): A formula in the Summary Dashboard calculates how many supplies are overdue based on today's date: =COUNTIF('Supply List (Main)'!H:H,"<="&TODAY()).
• Cost Distribution by Campaign: Uses SUMIFS to aggregate total spend per campaign in the Dashboard.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance readability and highlight critical items, conditional formatting is applied:

• Status Column (H):
  • “Out of Stock” → Red background, white text.
  • “Approved” → Green background.
