Sheet Names

The template includes five well-defined worksheets to ensure modularity and ease of use:

1. Supply List Master: Central repository for all supply items.
2. Time Allocation Plan: Maps each supply item to assigned time blocks and tasks.
3. Task Progress Tracker: Monitors completion status of tasks with deadlines and user notes.
4. Resource Utilization Dashboard: Visualizes time spent per task, supplier, and category.
5. Reports & Insights: Generates summary reports on supply cycles, delays, and efficiency metrics.

Table Structures & Data Types

All tables are structured to support real-time updates and filtering. Each sheet follows a standardized schema:

1. Supply List Master

Data types include: ID (text), Item Name (text), Category (text), Description (text), Unit of Measure (text/number), Quantity (number, integer or decimal), Price (currency, auto-formatted in USD), and Supplier ID (text).

2. Time Allocation Plan

This sheet links each supply item to a timeline, enabling time-based planning and resource forecasting.

Formulas Required

• DATEDIF function: Calculates duration between start and end dates (e.g., for task duration).
• NETWORKDAYS: Determines workdays between two dates, ignoring weekends.
• SUMIFS: Aggregates total required quantity or cost per category or supplier.
• IF statements: Determine task status (e.g., IF(End Date <= Today(), "Overdue", "On Time")).
• TODAY() & NOW(): Dynamically updates current date and time for real-time tracking.
• ROUND function: Formats hours to one decimal place (e.g., ROUND(Hours, 1)).

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent visual cues:

• Pending Tasks: Highlight in yellow if start date is within the next 3 days.
• Overdue Tasks: Red background and bold text if end date has passed.
• High Priority Items: Blue background for items with quantity > 10 or price > $50.
• Total Time Spent: Gradient fill in the dashboard based on utilization percentage (e.g., green for <30%, yellow for 30-70%, red >70%).
