Formulas & Calculations (Data Version)
The template uses advanced Excel formulas to maintain data integrity and automate insights:- Inventory Health Score:
=MIN(1, (Current Stock - Minimum Threshold) / Current Stock * 100)→ Ensures score stays within 0–100. - Total Consumed:
=Used - Returns/Damage. - Low Stock Alerts: In the Inventory Master, use a formula in the Status column:
=IF(Current Stock <= Minimum Threshold, "Critical", "Normal"). - Dynamic Dropdowns: Use Data Validation with formulas like
=INDIRECT("ItemList")to link item selection from Inventory Master. - Event Total Items Allocated: In the Dashboard, use:
=COUNTIF(EventSpecificInventoryLogs[Event ID], Event ID).
Conditional Formatting
Apply visual cues for quick data interpretation:- Critical Stock Levels: Red fill if Current Stock ≤ Minimum Threshold.
- Pending Events: Orange highlight for events with status = "Pending".
- Budget Overruns (if applicable): Light red if inventory use exceeds forecast by >10%.
- Status Updates: Color-coded cells based on event and item status (e.g., green for delivered, red for delayed).
User Instructions
