Sheet Names

The Excel file contains three main sheets:

1. Supply List Main: The primary data sheet where all items are stored, categorized, and tracked.
2. Categories & Subcategories: A master reference sheet for organizing items into logical groups (e.g., Cleaning, Health & Wellness, Kitchen Supplies).
3. Usage Dashboard: A dynamic summary sheet that visualizes consumption trends, frequency of use, and upcoming reordering alerts.

Table Structures and Data Organization

The Supply List Main sheet features a structured table with the following columns:

• ID (Auto-Generated): A unique sequential number assigned automatically upon entry. (Data Type: Integer, Auto-Number)
• Item Name: The name of the supply item. (Data Type: Text, Max 100 characters)
• Category: Assigns the item to a predefined category from the Categories & Subcategories sheet. (Data Type: Text, Dropdown list)
• Subcategory: A more detailed classification within a category (e.g., "Toilet Paper" under "Cleaning"). (Data Type: Text, Dropdown list)
• Quantity: Current stock level. (Data Type: Number, Integer or Decimal)
• Unit: Unit of measurement (e.g., "Roll", "Pack", "Piece"). (Data Type: Text, Limited to 20 characters)
• Reorder Point: The threshold at which restocking is recommended. (Data Type: Number, Integer)
• Next Purchase Date: Automatically calculated based on quantity and reorder point. (Data Type: Date, Formula-based)
• Last Used Date: Manually or automatically updated when an item is used. (Data Type: Date, User Input)
• Notes: Optional field for additional information such as brand preference or storage requirements. (Data Type: Text, Max 250 characters)
• Status: Tracks whether an item is "In Stock", "Low", or "Out of Stock". (Data Type: Text, Dropdown)

All columns are formatted with appropriate data validation rules to ensure consistency and accuracy. For instance, category and subcategory fields are populated via dropdowns linked to the Categories & Subcategories sheet, preventing typos or duplication.

Formulas Required

The template includes several key formulas that enhance functionality:

• Next Purchase Date Formula (Cell: D13): =IF(C13 > 0, DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(TODAY()) + (REORDER_POINT - C13)), "") This calculates when to reorder based on current stock and reorder point.
• Status Flag Formula (Cell: E13): =IF(C13 < D13, "Low", IF(C13 = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) Automatically updates the status based on quantity vs. reorder point.
• Total Items Count (Summary Cell: F2): =COUNTA(B:B) Tracks total number of items in the list.
• Low Stock Count (Summary Cell: G2): =COUNTIF(E:E, "Low") Helps identify how many supplies are at risk of running out.
• Days Until Next Purchase (Column H): Uses a combination of today's date and reorder point to compute days until restocking.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies smart conditional formatting for visual clarity:

• Red Fill for "Out of Stock" items: Any row where Status = "Out of Stock" is highlighted in red.
• Yellow Fill for "Low" items: Items with status = "Low" appear in yellow to draw attention.
• Green Highlight for In Stock: Fully stocked items are shaded green, promoting confidence in inventory levels.
• Data Validation for Category and Subcategory fields: Prevents invalid inputs by restricting dropdown selection from the master list.
• Auto-Coloring of Next Purchase Date (if overdue): If a next purchase date is passed, the row turns orange with a warning note.
