Formulas Required for Automation & Accuracy
To ensure real-time data consistency and eliminate manual errors:- Auto-increment Item ID:
=IF(ISBLANK([@Item ID]), "INV"&TEXT(COUNTA(Inventory_Master[Item ID])+1,"000"),[@Item ID]) - Current Quantity Calculation:
=SUMIFS(Daily_Movements[Quantity],Daily_Movements[Item ID],[@Item ID], Daily_Movements[Movement Type],"In") - SUMIFS(Daily_Movements[Quantity],Daily_Movements[Item ID],[@Item ID], Daily_Movements[Movement Type],"Out") - Reorder Alert Flag:
=IF([@Current Quantity]<=[@Reorder Level],"Yes","No") - Next Replenishment Date:
=IF([@Reorder Alert]="Yes",TODAY()+7, "N/A") - Last Received Date: Set via a macro or formula based on movement logs.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Enhance visual data interpretation with dynamic highlighting:- Low Stock Alert: If Current Quantity ≤ Reorder Level → Background color: Red (using Conditional Formatting).
- Damaged/Discontinued Items: Status = "Damaged" or "Discontinued" → Font color: Dark Gray, Bold.
- Overstock Warning: If Current Quantity > 2× Reorder Quantity → Background: Light Yellow.
- New Item (Last Received Date = Today): Highlight in Green for immediate visibility.
