Table Structures and Columns

All tables are structured with consistent data types to ensure accuracy and automation:

Main Supply List Table

Time Allocation Tracker Table

Priority & Urgency Matrix Table (Non-table format)

This is a pivot-style table with columns:

• Supply ID
• Priority (High/Medium/Low)
• Urgency (Critical/Normal/Minimal)
• Time to Action (Days)
• Color-Coded Status Flag

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates:

• =IF(AND(E2>TODAY(), D2<=7), "Urgent", IF(D2>14, "Delayed", "Normal")) – Flags delivery timelines.
• =SUMIFS(C:C, D:D, ">="&E2, D:D, "<"&F2) – Calculates total usage between date ranges.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, PriorityTable!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Retrieves priority from a reference table.
• =NETWORKDAYS(B3, C3) – Calculates workdays between start and end dates.
• =IF(G2=0,"No Lead Time", IF(H2>14,"High Risk","On Track")) – Flags risk based on lead time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The following formatting rules are applied:

• Status Highlighting: Red for "Pending", Yellow for "In Transit", Green for "Received".
• Urgency Color Coding: Red (Critical), Orange (High), Blue (Normal).
• Lead Time Alerts: Cells with lead time >14 days turn orange.
• Dates in Past: Supply delivery dates older than 7 days are grayed out.
• Prioritized Rows: High-priority items appear in bold and have a background of light red.
