Formulas Required for Automation & Intelligence
The template uses dynamic formulas to maintain real-time status, reduce manual input errors, and enhance decision-making.- Auto-Generated Item ID:
=IF(ISBLANK(A2), "INV-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), A2)
Applied to column A (Item ID) to generate sequential IDs when new rows are added. - Stock Alert Logic:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Threshold], "REORDER", "")
Displays "REORDER" in the status column when stock is below threshold. - Compliance Status (Color-Coded):
=IF(ISBLANK([@Next Compliance Due]), "Not Applicable", IF([@Next Compliance Due] <= TODAY(), "Overdue", IF([@Next Compliance Due] <= TODAY()+7, "Due Soon", "Compliant")))
Evaluates compliance health with time-sensitive categories. - Age of Record:
=TODAY()-[@Last Check Date]
Calculates days since last inventory verification. Helps track stale entries.
