Client View Summary
This sheet is designed to present inventory insights in a visually appealing and informative way for clients. - **Tables**: - "Inventory Overview" – Aggregates total products, low stock items, out-of-stock items - "Top Products by Stock Level" – Lists the highest inventory quantities - "Stock Status Summary" – Pie chart data source3. Data Collection Form
- A user-friendly form that uses data validation and drop-downs to standardize input. - Fields map directly to the Inventory Master sheet. - Includes built-in error checking for invalid entries (e.g., negative stock levels).Formulas Required
The template leverages several powerful Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain accuracy:- Stock Status Logic (Inventory Master):
=IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Low Stock", "In Stock"))This dynamically updates the status based on stock level and reorder threshold. - Days Since Last Received:
=IF(ISBLANK([@Last Received Date]), "", TODAY() - [@Last Received Date])Helps identify stale inventory items. - Count of Low Stock Items (Client View Summary):
=COUNTIF(InventoryMaster[Status (Stock Status)], "Low Stock") - Total Inventory Value:
=SUMPRODUCT(InventoryMaster[Current Stock Level], InventoryMaster[Unit Cost ($)])Calculates total monetary value of current stock. - Conditional Row Highlighting (via Formula in Conditional Formatting):
Uses a formula like:
=AND([@Status (Stock Status)]="Low Stock", [@Current Stock Level] > 0)
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance data visualization and alert users to critical inventory conditions:- Low Stock Items: Highlight rows with "Low Stock" status using a yellow background and red text.
- Out of Stock Items: Apply a bold red border and dark red fill to emphasize urgency.
- In Stock: Use light green for normal, healthy inventory levels.
- High Value Products: Conditionally format cells with unit cost > $100 using a gold highlight.
- Dates Over 90 Days Old (Last Received): Apply amber formatting if "Days Since Last Received" exceeds 90 days.
User Instructions
To use this template effectively for data collection, follow these steps:
- Fill the Data Collection Form: Enter new or updated product information using drop-downs and valid entries. Avoid manual typing in dropdown fields.
- Automated Sync: All form inputs are automatically populated into the Inventory Master sheet via linked cells (no copy-paste needed).
- Data Validation: The template prevents invalid data entry. For example, negative stock levels or blank product IDs will trigger alerts.
