Formulas Required

This template leverages powerful Excel functions for automation:

• VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP: To pull data from the Stock Inventory Master sheet into other sheets.
• IF + AND/OR Logic: To determine compliance status and reorder triggers.
• DATEDIF / TODAY(): For calculating days until expiry or next review date.

• Conditional Formatting Formulas (see below): To auto-highlight critical entries.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Expiry Warning: Highlight any row where "Expiry Date" is within 30 days. Formula: `=AND([@ExpiryDate]<>"" , [@ExpiryDate] <= TODAY()+30)` → Apply red fill.
• Low Stock Alert: If "Current Stock" ≤ "Min Threshold", highlight in yellow using formula: `=[@CurrentStock]<=[@MinThreshold]`
• Compliance Overdue: Color cells red if "Next Review Due Date" is past today’s date.
• Compliant Status: Green fill for "Compliant"; red for "Non-Compliant".
