Table Structure: Stock Inventory Sheet
The primary table on the "Stock Inventory" sheet tracks all inventory items. It uses structured Excel tables for automatic expansion and easy data management.
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (Auto) | Numerical (Auto-increment) | Unique identifier generated automatically using a formula. |
| Item Name | Text | Description of the item (e.g., "Printer Paper 80g", "Bolts – M6x20"). |
| Category | Text (Drop-down list) | Organize items by category (e.g., Office Supplies, Tools, Consumables, Electronics). |
| Current Stock Level | Numerical (Integer) | Number of units currently available. |
| Reorder Threshold | Numerical (Integer) | Stock level at which a reorder is recommended. Default: 5. |
| Last Updated | Date/Time (Auto) | Automatically fills with today’s date when item is added or edited. |
| Supplier Name | Text | Name of the supplier (e.g., "OfficeMax", "Amazon", "Local Hardware Store"). |
| Unit Cost (£) | Currency (Number with 2 decimals) |
Formulas Used
The template leverages a range of built-in Excel functions to automate tracking and reduce manual errors. Key formulas include:
- Item ID Auto-Generation:
=IF(A2="","",MAX($A$2:$A$1000)+1)– Automatically assigns unique IDs when new rows are added. - Last Updated (Auto):
=IF(ISBLANK(D2),TODAY(),D2)– Ensures the date updates only when the row is first filled. - Stock Status Indicator: In a new column ("Status"), use:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Total Inventory Value: Use SUMPRODUCT to calculate total value:
=SUMPRODUCT(Inventory[Current Stock Level], Inventory[Unit Cost (£)])
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visibility and alertness, the template includes several conditional formatting rules:
- Low Stock Alert: Highlight cells in "Current Stock Level" red if below the Reorder Threshold.
- Out of Stock: Use dark red fill for items with 0 stock.
- Critical Low (Threshold = 1): Light yellow background for items with stock ≤ 1 and threshold ≤ 5.
- Duplicate Detection: Flag duplicate item names using formula:
=COUNTIF(Inventory[Item Name],[@[Item Name]])>1.
