• Reorder Threshold (Number): Minimum quantity to trigger a reorder reminder.
• Note / Usage Tip (Text, Optional): Additional information such as preferred brand or usage context.

2. Daily Study Log

A timeline-based log that records daily academic activity and supply consumption:

• Date (Date)
• Subject Studied (Text)
• Study Duration (Time, e.g., 1:30:00)
• Supplies Used (Text, Multi-Select): List of items consumed during the session.
• Notes (Text)

3. Subject Tracker

A summarized view per subject with calculated metrics:

• Subject Name (Text)
• Total Supplies Needed (Number, Calculated from Supply Inventory)
• Supplies Currently Available (Number)
• Completeness Rate (% – Auto-Calculated)

Formulas Used

• =IF([@Current Quantity] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Quantity] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) – Determines status dynamically.
• =COUNTIFS(SupplyInventory[Subject Category], [@Subject], SupplyInventory[Status], "<>Out of Stock") – Counts available supplies per subject.
• =SUMIF(SupplyInventory[Subject Category], [@[Subject Name]], SupplyInventory[Current Quantity]) – Aggregates current stock for each subject.
• =ROUND(([@Available] / [@Needed]) * 100, 1) – Calculates percentage completeness with one decimal precision.
• =TEXT(TODAY(), "mm/dd/yyyy") – Auto-updates the last updated date on new entries.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Items: Cells in “Status” column are highlighted in orange if quantity ≤ reorder threshold.
• Out of Stock Items: Cells turn red to signal urgency.
• Daily Study Log: Rows where study duration exceeds 2 hours are shaded green for high-effort days.
• Completeness Rate: Use data bars and color scales in the “Completeness Rate” column (green = >80%, yellow = 50–79%, red = <50%).
