Formulas & Calculations

The template leverages advanced Excel functions to ensure data integrity and intelligence:

Dynamic Stock Updates: Formula in CURRENTSTOCKQTY column of Inventory Master uses:
```
=VLOOKUP([@ProductID], tblTransactions, COUNTIF(tblTransactions[ProductID], [@ProductID]), FALSE)
```
Actually implemented with SUMIFS for accurate totals: =SUMIFS(tblTransactions[QuantityChange], tblTransactions[ProductID], [@ProductID])
Automatic Reorder Triggers: Conditional indicator in Inventory Master: =IF([@CurrentStockQty] <= [@ReorderLevel], "Reorder Required", "OK")
Employee Assignment Status: =IF(COUNTIFS(tblAssignments[EmployeeID], [@EmployeeID], tblAssignments[AssignmentEndDate], ">="&TODAY()) > 0, "Active", "Inactive")
Inventory Turnover Ratio (Dashboard): =SUMIFS(tblTransactions[QuantityChange], tblTransactions[TransactionType], "Issued") / AVERAGE([@CurrentStockQty])

Conditional Formatting Rules

Low Stock Alert: Red fill with white text for any row where CurrentStockQty ≤ ReorderLevel.
Pending Reorders: Yellow highlight for products with reorder status and last restock over 30 days ago.
Inactive Employees: Grayed-out text for employees with Status = "Inactive" or "Terminated".
High-Volume Transactions: Green gradient scale for high transaction volume (top 10% by quantity).
