Build Your Own
Superbuy Spreadsheet

Before adding a single column, ask yourself what information you actually need. A casual buyer might only care about item name, price, and delivery status. A reseller needs SKU, cost basis, selling price, stock level, and profit margin.

Write down the 5-7 most important data points for your use case. This list becomes the foundation of your custom sheet. Do not add columns just because they look useful. Unused columns create visual clutter and slow down your workflow.

Start from the closest pre-built template rather than a blank sheet. The Templates page offers six starting points. Pick the one that matches your workflow, then customize it instead of building from scratch.

For example, if you want to track orders but also compare sellers, start with the Order Tracking template and add a "Seller Rating" column. This is faster than adding every column manually.

Click the Add Column button in the top-right of any table. You can choose from predefined column types like Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, Checkbox, and Link. Each type has built-in validation to prevent bad data entry.

For advanced users, the Formula column type lets you calculate values automatically. For example, a "Profit" column can subtract "Cost" from "Selling Price" without manual math.

Filters are what transform a static list into a dynamic dashboard. Set up saved filters for common views like "Pending Orders," "High-Priority Items," or "Items Awaiting QC." Each filter is one click away once saved.

Sorting rules can also be saved. For example, you might want your default view to sort by "Purchase Date" descending, so your newest orders appear first. Customize this to match your mental model.

Add 5-10 real items to your custom sheet and use it for a few days. You will quickly notice which columns are useful and which are ignored. Remove unused columns, rename confusing ones, and reorder the layout until it feels natural.

The best spreadsheet is the one you actually use. A simple sheet you update daily is infinitely better than a complex sheet you abandoned after one week.
