TABLE STRUCTURES AND COLUMNS (Client Inventory Data Sheet)

The main data table is located on the Client Inventory Data sheet. It is structured as a dynamic Excel Table (named "tblInventory") with the following columns:

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate critical calculations and reporting:

• Status Column: =IF(Current_Stock_Level >= Reorder_Point, "In Stock", IF(Current_Stock_Level <= 0, "Out of Stock", "Low Stock"))
• Total Inventory Value: =Current_Stock_Level * Unit_Cost
• Inventory Turnover (in Client Summary Report): =SUMIFS(Stock_Movement_Log[Quantity], Stock_Movement_Log[Client ID], [Client ID], Stock_Movement_Log[Transaction Type], "Out") / AVERAGE(Current_Stock_Level)
• KPIs (Dashboard):
  • Total Clients: =COUNTA(UNIQUE(tblInventory[Client Name]))
  • Total Inventory Value (All Clients): =SUM(tblInventory[Total Inventory Value ($)])
  • Low Stock Items Count: =COUNTIF(tblInventory[Status], "Low Stock")

Note: All formulas are designed to be dynamic and refresh automatically when new data is entered or the template is recalculated.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING (Client Inventory Data Sheet)

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical items, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Stock Status: Highlight cells in red with yellow text for "Low Stock" status.
• Out of Stock Items: Apply bold red font and a dark red fill to indicate no stock is available.
• Total Inventory Value (Top 10%): Use gradient fill (dark blue to light blue) for the highest-value inventory items.
• Status Column: Color-coded: green for "In Stock", yellow for "Low Stock", red for "Out of Stock".

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

1. Data Entry: Only enter new inventory data in the Client Inventory Data sheet. Do not modify formulas or table structure.
2. Add a New Client: Insert a new row at the bottom of the table and fill in all required fields. The formulas will auto-calculate for the new entry.
3. Update Stock Levels: Modify only the "Current Stock Level" field. The system will update Total Inventory Value and Status automatically.
