Formulas and Automation Features

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas across sheets:

• Status Updates in Stock Inventory: =IF([Current Stock Level] < [Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
• Dynamic Dropdowns: Use Data Validation with INDIRECT for cascading lists (e.g., Departments → Roles).
• Auto-Generate Employee ID: =CONCATENATE("EMP", TEXT(ROW()-1,"00000"))
• Total Allocated Items per Employee: Use SUMIFS to tally item quantities assigned.
• Last Update Timestamp: =NOW() (in a hidden column).

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Alerts: Highlight any cell in “Current Stock Level” that is below “Reorder Threshold” with red fill.
• Status Coloring: Use color scales for "Status" column – green for "In Stock", yellow for "Low Stock", red for "Out of Stock".
• Employee Status: Highlight terminated employees in gray and active ones in green.
