Essential Formulas & Automation
- Stock Level Calculation: In "Inventory Master" sheet, use:
=Current Stock Level - SUMIFS(Event Stock Requirements!$D:$D, Event Stock Requirements!$B:$B, Item ID)to calculate available stock. - Total Cost Auto-calculation: In "Purchase Tracker":
=E2*F2(Quantity × Unit Cost). - Status Color Logic: Use nested IFs to flag items with low stock:
=IF(InventoryMaster!D2<=Reorder Point, "Low", IF(InventoryMaster!D2<=(Reorder Point*1.5), "Medium", "High")). - Event Budget Summary: Sum all cost columns per event using:
=SUMIFS(Event Stock Requirements!$D:$D, Event Stock Requirements!$A:$A, A2).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Inventory Warning: Highlight cells in "Current Stock Level" with red background if below Reorder Point.
- Purchase Deadlines: Yellow highlight for delivery dates within 7 days.
- Status Colors: Green (Completed), Orange (In Progress), Red (Delayed).
