Table Structures and Data Organization

Each worksheet contains structured tables optimized for filtering, sorting, and automated calculations.

1. Study Inventory Log (Core Table)

This is a dynamic Excel table (created via Data > Create Table) with the following columns: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |--------------|-----------|-------------| | Item ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each study item, e.g., "STU-001" | | Item Name | Text (up to 100 characters) | E.g., "Organic Chemistry Notes – Chapter 5" | | Category | Dropdown (from Reference Sheet) | E.g., "Textbooks", "Practice Exams", "Online Courses" | | Subcategory | Text or Dropdown | More specific classification, e.g., “MCQ Bank” under “Practice Exams” | | Quantity/Units | Number (Integer) | Number of physical copies or digital files | | Location/Storage Path | Text (with hyperlink support) | Physical location or file path (e.g., "Drive > Study > 2024 > Chemistry") | | Last Used Date | Date Format | Most recent use date; auto-updated via formula | | Due for Review (Next) | Date Format | Scheduled review or renewal reminder | | Status | Dropdown: Active, In Progress, Completed, Archived, Missing | Tracks lifecycle of the item | | Notes/Comments | Text (multi-line) | Optional field for observations |

2. Monthly Study Plan

This sheet uses a calendar grid layout (Week 1 to Week 4) with rows for each day and columns by subject. | Column/Row Header | Data Type | |--------------------|-----------| | Date (Daily) | Date format | | Subject | Text (with dropdown list from Categories & Tags sheet) | | Study Duration (minutes) | Number (integer, min 15 max 240) | | Task Description | Text description of what to study or do | | Status: Not Started / In Progress / Completed | Dropdown selection |

3. Progress Tracker

A pivot-friendly table showing: - Subject Name - Total Tasks Assigned (per month) - Tasks Completed - Completion % (calculated field) - Average Time Spent per Task

Formulas Required

This template leverages dynamic Excel formulas for automation and real-time insights:

=TODAY(): To auto-populate today’s date in "Last Used Date" if the item is being updated.
=IF(AND(Status="Active", Due_for_Review < TODAY()), "Overdue!", IF(Due_for_Review = "", "", "On Schedule")): Flag overdue items for review.
=COUNTIFS(Status, "Completed", Date, ">=1/1/2024", Date, "<=31/1/2024") / COUNTIF(Status,"<>"""): Calculates monthly completion rate.
=SUMIFS(Duration_Minutes, Status, "Completed", Subject, "Mathematics"): Aggregates study time per subject.
=TEXT(TODAY(), "MMMM YYYY"): Dynamically displays current month and year on the dashboard.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and prompt timely actions:

Overdue Reviews: If Due_for_Review < TODAY(), highlight row in red with bold text.
Status Color-Coding: Use color scales: green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Missing" or "Overdue".
Completion Rate Bars: Apply data bars to the "% Completed" column in Progress Tracker.
Last Used Date: If older than 14 days, apply a warning color (orange).
