Table Structure
| Section | Description |

| Data Entry Table (Rows 5–30) | A dynamic table for entering and updating inventory items, including product ID, name, category, current stock, reorder level, supplier info. |
| Stock Summary Dashboard (Rows 35–45) | Summary statistics: total products in stock, out-of-stock items count, low-stock alerts (items below reorder threshold). |
| Recent Transactions Log (Rows 50–60) | A log of recent stock movements including additions, removals, and adjustments with timestamps. |
| Visual Dashboard (Right Column, Rows 35–60) | Embedded charts: inventory levels by category, low-stock item alerts (bar chart), and trend line for stock changes over time. |
Table Columns & Data Types
| Column Header | Data Type | Description/Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Product ID (A) | Text/Number (Unique Key) | Unique identifier for each product (e.g., P001, STAPLE-5). |
| Product Name (B) | Text | Name of the item (e.g., "Blue Pens – 10-pack"). |
| Category (C) | List/Text | Categorize items: Office Supplies, Raw Materials, Packaging, etc. |
| Current Stock (D) | Numeric (Integer) | Real-time quantity on hand. |
| Reorder Level (E) | Numeric | Threshold at which stock should be reordered. Trigger alerts when current stock ≤ reorder level. |
| Supplier (F) | Text | Name of supplier or vendor. |

Formulas Required
- Stock Status Indicator (H5):
=IF(D5 <= E5, "Low Stock", IF(D5 = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))This dynamically labels stock status based on current inventory vs reorder threshold. - Total Products (Cell B46):
=COUNTA(A5:A30)– Counts number of products listed. - Low-Stock Count (Cell B47):
=COUNTIF(H5:H30, "Low Stock")– Tracks items below reorder level. - Out-of-Stock Count (Cell B48):
=COUNTIF(H5:H30, "Out of Stock")– Counts zero-stock items. - Last Updated Timestamp (G5):
=NOW()– Auto-updates with each edit (user must enable iterative calculations if needed).
Conditional Formatting
Visual cues improve data interpretation. Apply these rules to the Data Entry Table (A5:H30):
- Low Stock: Format cells with red fill and bold text where status is "Low Stock". Rule:
=H5="Low Stock" - Out of Stock: Use dark red background with white text for "Out of Stock" items.
- High Current Stock: Apply yellow highlight to cells where D5 > 2×E5 (indicating overstock).
User Instructions
- Data Entry: Start entering product details in rows 5 and below. Ensure unique Product IDs for each item.
- Update Stock Levels: After receiving new stock or making a sale, update the "Current Stock" column. The system auto-calculates status.
- Add New Items: Insert rows as needed (right-click row number → Insert). Ensure formulas in H5:H30 are extended to new rows via drag-fill.
- Track History: The "Recent Transactions Log" can be manually updated or linked to a separate sheet if expanded later.
- Review Dashboards: Use the summary statistics and charts in the right column to make informed decisions about reordering and inventory optimization.
Example Rows
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P001 | Blue Pens – 10-pack | Office Supplies | 25 | 30 | InkMaster Co. | =NOW() |
| Status: In Stock | ||||||

- Inventory by Category (Bar Chart): Displays total units per category for quick visual analysis.
- Trend Line of Stock Changes: Create a line graph showing "Current Stock" over time (if timestamp tracking is expanded).
