Sheet Names and Structure

The workbook contains four primary sheets to support the end-to-end flow of marketing supply management:

• 1. Supply Overview: A dynamic summary dashboard that provides an at-a-glance view of all supply items, including status, quantities on hand, and upcoming needs.
• 2. Detailed Supply List: The core data table where all individual supply items are recorded with full metadata.
• 3. Team Responsibilities: A tracker to assign ownership of each supply item to team members, ensuring accountability and timely execution.
• 4. Campaign Tracker: A timeline-based view linking supplies to specific marketing campaigns, enabling cross-functional planning.

Table Structures and Columns

The main data table resides in the "Detailed Supply List" sheet and is structured as a formal database with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas for automation and accuracy:

• Auto-Item ID (Column A): =TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000") → Combined with prefix "SUP-", generates unique IDs.
• Total Cost (Column K): =IF(OR(J2="", H2=""), "", H2 * J2)
• Status Logic: Uses nested IF and COUNTIFS to determine stock level status based on Current Stock vs. Reorder Level.
• Duplicate Detection: Conditional formatting rule using =COUNTIF($B:$B, B2)>1 to flag duplicate supply names.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and alert team members of critical actions, the following rules are applied:

• Red Highlight: Any item with “Current Stock” ≤ “Reorder Level” is highlighted in red to indicate low stock.
• Yellow Background: Items where "Status" = "Ordered" but Delivery Date is within 7 days are flagged yellow.
• Green Checkmark: When Status = “Delivered”, a green check appears via icon sets in the Status column.
• Data Validation: Dropdowns ensure data consistency; invalid inputs trigger warnings.
