Sheet Names

This Excel file contains a single sheet named "Study & Stock Hub". This unified sheet eliminates the need to switch between multiple tabs. Every element—study tasks, deadlines, material tracking, stock levels, and visual dashboards—is designed within this one cohesive space.

Table Structures

The template is divided into four key structured areas:

• Study Task Tracker Table: Located at the top-left of the sheet.
• Inventory Stock Control Table: Positioned centrally, below the study tracker.
• Deadline Alert & Status Dashboard: Found on the right side, summarizing upcoming tasks and stock conditions.
• Quick-Reference Summary Panel: A compact overview in the lower-right corner showing totals and key indicators.

Formulas Required

The template leverages key Excel formulas to maintain automation and accuracy:

• Task ID Generation (B2): =IF(A2="", "STU-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), A2) Ensures auto-assigning of unique IDs when a new row is added.
• Status Color Indicator: Uses conditional formatting to change cell color based on status (e.g., red for "Delayed").
• Deadline Countdown (in Dashboard): =IF(D2<>"", D2-TODAY(), "") Shows days remaining until a task is due.
• Stock Alert Logic: =IF(CURRENT_STOCK <= REORDER_LEVEL, "REORDER", "OK") Dynamically flags items below reorder threshold.
• Total Tasks Count: =COUNTA(B:B)-1 (excluding header)
• Items Requiring Reorder: =COUNTIF(F:F, "REORDER")

Conditional Formatting

• Due Date Columns: Cells turn red if the due date is within 3 days. Amber for 4–7 days.
• Status Column:
  • "Not Started" – Gray fill
  • "In Progress" – Yellow fill
  • "Completed" – Light green
  • "Delayed" – Bright red with bold text
• Stock Level Cells:
  • If stock ≤ reorder level → Background turns red.
  • If stock > reorder level → Green background.

To use this template effectively:

1. Enter study tasks in the "Study Task Tracker" table (rows 4–15).
