Table Structures and Columns (Study Materials Inventory Sheet)

The primary sheet — Study Materials Inventory — functions as a robust inventory system with the following structured table:

Formulas Required

The template includes dynamic formulas to automate tracking and provide insights:

• =IF(TODAY()-[Last Used]>30, "Needs Review", ""): Highlights materials not used in over 30 days for possible archiving or updating.
• =COUNTIF(Status:Status, "Available"): Total count of available items (placed in summary box).
• =COUNTIFS(Type:Type, "Physical Book", Status:Status, "In Use"): Counts how many physical textbooks are currently being used.
• =IF([Status]="Lost/Stolen", "REPLACE", ""): Flagging items that require replacement.
• =DATEDIF([Date Acquired], TODAY(), "M"): Calculates the number of months since acquisition to assist in determining when materials should be renewed or discarded.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Red for “Lost/Stolen”, Yellow for “Damaged”, Green for “Available”.
• Last Used Column: Orange highlight if over 30 days old, red if over 60 days.
• Priorities: High priority items are highlighted in bold red text.
• Expiration Warnings: Items older than 2 years have a pale gray background to indicate potential obsolescence.
