Formulas Required

• Total Value (Product Inventory Master): =IF([@Quantity]>0, [@Unit Cost]*[@Quantity], 0)
• Stock Alert (Conditional Highlight): Use formula in conditional formatting to flag stock below reorder level: =[@[Current Stock Quantity]] <=[@[Reorder Level]]
• Available Stock Calculation (Event Planning Tracker): In the "Available" column (auto-calculated), use: =VLOOKUP([@Product ID], 'Product Inventory Master'!A:G, 4, FALSE) - SUMIF('Stock Movement Log'!B:B, [@Product ID], 'Stock Movement Log'!D:D) This tracks real-time availability after event allocations.
• Remaining Stock After Event: =[@[Current Stock Quantity]] - [@Required Quantity]

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Alerts: Highlight cells in "Current Stock Quantity" red if below Reorder Level.
