Data Collection - Data Entry Sheet (Core Functionality)
This sheet is the primary interface for Data Collection. Users enter new or updated inventory records, such as incoming shipments, outgoing dispatches, or physical counts.
Table Structure and Columns
The table is formatted as an Excel Table (Ctrl+T) with the name “tblInventoryData”:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Example |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Date (dd/mm/yyyy) | Transaction date (e.g., 05/04/2024) |
| Item ID | Text / Number (Unique Key) | SKU or internal code (e.g., W-3019A) |
| Description | Text | Name of the product (e.g., "Wireless Mouse Model X") |
| Category | Text (Drop-down List) | E.g., Electronics, Tools, Packaging Supplies, Consumables |
| Location | Text (Drop-down List) | Warehouse zone or rack number (e.g., A-03B, R2-10) |
| Quantity | Numeric (Positive integer) | Number of units added/removed (e.g., +150 or -42) |
| Type | Text (Drop-down: "Add", "Remove", "Count") | Indicates transaction type for tracking purposes |
| Unit Cost ($) | Currency (Format: $#,##0.00) | Cost per unit (e.g., $12.99) |
| Total Value ($) | Currency (Formula-based) | Auto-calculated as: Quantity × Unit Cost |
Formulas Used in Data Entry Sheet
- Total Value ($) = Quantity * Unit Cost: Automatically calculated using the formula
=IF(Quantity="", "", Quantity*UnitCost) - Transaction ID (Auto-generated): Unique identifier using
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-2,"000")to create a timestamp-based ID. - Status Indicator: Uses a formula like
=IF(Type="Add","In Stock",IF(Type="Remove","Outgoing","Physical Count"))for status tagging.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Stock Alert (Red): If Quantity is less than 10, apply red fill with white text to highlight low stock items.
- New Additions (Green): Highlight rows where Type = "Add" in light green.
- High Value Items (Yellow): Apply yellow background if Total Value > $500.
Inventory Summary Sheet
This sheet consolidates data from the Data Entry sheet to provide a high-level view. It uses formulas like SUMIFS(), COUNTIF(), and UNIQUE() (if using Excel 365) for real-time aggregation.
Stock Movement Log Sheet
A historical log that tracks changes over time. Uses pivot tables to analyze trends by category, location, or date range. Includes a “Net Change” column calculated as sum of Quantity per Item ID.
Performance Dashboard (Report Version)
This interactive sheet includes:
- Bar Chart: Top 10 High-Value Items by Total Inventory Value.
- Pie Chart: Stock distribution by Category.
- Line Graph: Monthly inventory turnover trends (units in/out).
- KPI Cards: Display total items, total value, low-stock items count, and average unit cost.
Instructions for the User
Best Practices:
- Always enter data in the "Data Entry" sheet only.
- Use dropdowns for Category and Location to maintain consistency.
- Add new rows at the bottom of the table. Never insert/delete within the middle of a table.
- Update monthly or after every major physical count.
- Save a copy before making bulk changes (use "Save As" with date suffix).
