Formulas Required
The template integrates several advanced Excel formulas to automate data processing:- Dynamic Stock Calculation: In the Inventory Master List, use:
=SUMIFS('Daily Stock Log'!$E:$E, 'Daily Stock Log'!$C:$C, A2)(where A2 is the Item ID) to calculate net stock changes. - Auto-Update Last Updated: Use:
=NOW()in a hidden column or use VBA for real-time updates upon editing. - Status Flagging: Conditional logic like:
=IF([@Current Stock Quantity] <= [@Reorder Level], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Stock Quantity] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Summarization in Dashboard: Use
SUMIFS,COUNTIF, andINDEX/MATCHto aggregate data across sheets. - Error Prevention: Use Data Validation to restrict entries (e.g., only positive numbers in Quantity Change).
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance usability and visual alerts:- Low Stock Alert: Highlight cells in the "Current Stock Quantity" column with red fill if value ≤ Reorder Level.
- Out of Stock: Use light gray background for any item with current stock = 0.
- New Transactions: Apply a green highlight to rows in Daily Stock Log if the date is within the last 24 hours (using conditional formatting with formula:
=TODAY()-'Daily Stock Log'!$A2 <= 1). - Trend Visualization: Use color scales for stock quantity to identify high/low performers.
