Table Structures & Columns (Inventory Master Sheet)

The primary data source resides in the Inventory Master sheet. This table is structured as a dynamic Excel Table with proper headers and named ranges for formula integration.

Formulas Required

The template uses several key formulas across the workbook to maintain data integrity and automate reporting:

• Total Value ($): =IF([@Quantity] > 0, [@UnitCost] * [@Quantity], 0) – Calculates total inventory value per item.
• Status: =IF([@Quantity] <= [@ReorderLevel], "Low Stock", IF([@Quantity] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) – Automates stock status tagging.
• Inventory Count Summary (Dashboard):
  • Total Products: =COUNTA(InventoryMaster[Product ID])
  • Total In-Stock Units: =SUMIF(InventoryMaster[Status], "In Stock", InventoryMaster[Quantity])
  • Items Below Reorder Level: =COUNTIFS(InventoryMaster[Status], "Low Stock")
• Client Summary Report Filters: Uses Advanced Filter or SUMIFS with criteria referencing client-specific data (e.g., filtering by “Client: ABC Corp”).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and draw attention to critical inventory issues, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Stock Items (Yellow Fill): If Status = "Low Stock", apply yellow background with bold text.
• Out of Stock (Red Fill): If Status = "Out of Stock", apply red fill and italic font.
• High Value Items (Green Highlight): If Total Value > $1,000, highlight in light green to identify high-impact inventory.
• Bulk Reorder Alerts: If Quantity is below reorder level and value exceeds $500, apply bold red border.
