Table Structures & Data Types

The core table structure is built around a relational design to support accurate performance tracking. The primary data tables are:

Product Inventory Master (Sheet: Product Inventory Master)

All data fields are designed to support accurate tracking. Numeric values (e.g., price, stock quantity) are stored as Number; date fields use standard Excel date format; text fields use Text. The "Category" field allows for easy filtering by household area (e.g., Kitchen, Bathroom, Garden).

Usage & Performance Log (Sheet: Usage & Performance Log)

This table tracks actual usage behavior, allowing users to analyze trends such as consumption frequency and seasonality—key elements of effective Performance Tracking.

Formulas Required

• =IF(Stock Quantity < Minimum Threshold, "LOW", "OK"): Checks if stock is below threshold.
• =SUMIFS(Quantity Used, Product ID, A001): Calculates total usage for a specific product.
• =AVERAGEIF(Date Range, Date Column): Averages weekly/monthly consumption to show performance trends.
• =TODAY() - Purchase Date: Automatically calculates days since purchase to track shelf life.
• =VLOOKUP(Product ID, Product Inventory Master, 10, FALSE): Retrieves category or price based on product ID for dynamic reporting.

Conditional Formatting

• Cells in "Quantity in Stock" that fall below the minimum threshold are highlighted in red.
• Cells with high usage (e.g., >10 units per month) are shown in orange.
• Date-based alerts appear when items exceed 90 days without use—highlighted in yellow.
• The "Reorder Interval" column uses a gradient background: green for under 30 days, yellow for 31–60, red above 60.
