Formulas Used in the Main Sheet
- J2 (Next Audit Due Date):
=IF(H2<>"", DATE(YEAR(H2)+0, MONTH(H2)+6, DAY(H2)), "")
This formula automatically calculates a 6-month audit cycle after the last audit date. - Status Color Code (Conditional Formatting): Based on column H.
- Expiry Warning (Dynamic Column): Use a helper column to flag products expiring within 30 days:
=IF(AND(E2<>"", E2<=TODAY()+30), "Expiring Soon", "")
Conditional Formatting Rules (Main Sheet)
- Expiry Warnings: Highlight in yellow if expiry date is within 14 days.
- Non-Compliant Items: Red background with white text for rows where H = "Non-Compliant".
- Pending Reviews: Orange fill for status “Pending Review”.
- Low Stock Alert: If L < 10, apply light red border and bold text.
Sheet 2: Compliance Summary Dashboard (Summary View)
This sheet presents a high-level, visual summary of compliance across all products. It's the centerpiece of the Summary View, enabling quick decision-making by management and compliance officers.
Key Elements:
- KPIs at Top:
- Total Products in Inventory: (Count of all rows in tblProductInventory)
- Compliant Items: (Count where H = "Compliant")
- Pending Reviews: (Count where H = "Pending Review")
- Non-Compliant Items: (Count where H = "Non-Compliant")
- Bar Chart: “Product Compliance Status by Category” – showing compliance rate per category.
- Pie Chart: “Distribution of Product Types and Compliance” – visualizes product types and their compliance status.
- Data Table: Summary table listing top 10 suppliers by number of non-compliant items (for accountability).
Formulas for Dashboard
=COUNTA(tblProductInventory[Product ID])– Total products.=COUNTIF(tblProductInventory[Compliance Status (Manual)], "Compliant")– Compliant count.=SUMPRODUCT(--(tblProductInventory[Expiry Date]– Products expiring within 30 days. - Dynamic chart source data linked using Excel Tables for auto-refreshing visualizations.
