Table Structures & Data Types

The core of this Inventory Template is built around the Inventory Master table, which serves as the primary data repository. Each row represents a unique item, with columns structured to capture all relevant metadata.

The Tracking Log table logs all changes, including purchase, transfer, repair, or disposal events. It includes:

Action Type (e.g., Purchase, Lost, Given Away)
Date & Time of Event
Description/Notes
Related Item ID
Status Change After Event

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to enhance usability and provide real-time insights:

=TODAY(): Automatically populates current date in log entries.
=IF(A3="In Use", "Active", IF(A3="Lost", "Inactive - Missing", "On Hold")): Dynamically updates status visibility.
=DATEDIF(B3, TODAY(), "y"): Calculates how long an item has been owned (in years).
=SUMIF($C$2:$C$100,"Electronics",$E$2:$E$100): Totals acquisition cost for a specific category.
=AVERAGEIFS(D:D, E:E, "In Use", F:F, "5"): Calculates average condition rating of in-use items in excellent condition.
=COUNTIF(E:E,"In Use"): Provides the total number of currently active items.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues enhance user understanding and awareness:

Status Column (Green/Yellow/Red): Green for "In Use", Yellow for "In Storage", Red for "Lost" or "Damaged".
Condition Rating (1–5): 1 = Red, 2 = Orange, 3 = Yellow, 4 = Green, 5 = Blue.
Purchase Age: Items over two years old highlighted in gray with a note “Consider Replacement”.
Zero Usage: Items without a “Last Used Date” appear in light orange to prompt review.
