Table Structures and Data Layouts

1. Goal Setting Overview Sheet

This sheet captures high-level business objectives and milestones for a given period (e.g., Q1 2025). It uses a table structure to define goals, owners, timelines, and current progress.

2. Product Inventory List Sheet

This sheet tracks all products in stock, including SKU codes, product names, quantities on hand, reorder points, and category assignments.

3. Inventory vs. Goals Dashboard Sheet (Summary)

This sheet dynamically cross-references inventory performance against goal targets using formulas and conditional formatting to highlight discrepancies.

Columns and Data Types

• Text Fields: Product names, categories, goals, owners – all stored as string values.
• Numbers: Stock quantities (integers), progress percentages (decimal), reorder points (integers).
• Dates: Target dates and restock dates are in date format for accurate timeline tracking.
• Boolean Flags: "Low stock?" uses TRUE/FALSE logic to flag inventory risks.
• Percentages: Progress on goals calculated dynamically via formulas.

Formulas Required

• =IF(B4<C4, "Low", "Normal") – Detects when stock is below reorder point.
• =D5/E5*100 – Calculates progress percentage for goal achievement (e.g., actual vs. target).

• =COUNTIF(C:C, "Electronics") – Counts product category distribution.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Red Fill (Critical): When stock quantity is below reorder point, cells turn red.
• Yellow Highlight (Warning): Progress % less than 50% on goals.
• Green Checkmark: Goals marked as "Achieved" or progress ≥90%.
