CHECK 01
Use one part per row
Turn this point into a recorded decision: define the input, review it against the real project and keep the evidence that allows another person to verify the result.
Direct answer
A cut list spreadsheet is useful when each row represents one part and columns hold controlled fields for cabinet, material, dimensions, quantity, grain, edges and status.
Expert view
The real decision behind this search
A spreadsheet should support filtering, checking and controlled updates without becoming a second disconnected source of truth.
Workshop reality
Use one row per part and dedicated columns for cabinet, material, thickness, length, width, quantity, grain and edges. Avoid merged cells in the data range.
Useful output
A clean tabular cut list that can be audited, sorted and imported into downstream workflows.

CHECK 02
Avoid merged cells in production data
Turn this point into a recorded decision: define the input, review it against the real project and keep the evidence that allows another person to verify the result.
CHECK 03
Validate units and numeric fields
Turn this point into a recorded decision: define the input, review it against the real project and keep the evidence that allows another person to verify the result.
CHECK 04
Protect formulas and track revisions
