Table Structures & Data Types

The core of the template is built around three primary tables:

1. Product Inventory Master (Sheet: Product Inventory Master)

This table stores the foundational product data with clear data types to ensure accurate calculations and filtering.

2. Goal Setting Matrix (Sheet: Goal Progress Tracker)

This table defines measurable, time-bound goals directly linked to inventory performance. The status column is dynamically updated using conditional logic.

3. Inventory Performance by Goal (Sheet: Inventory Performance by Goal)

This cross-referenced table shows how inventory availability directly contributes to goal achievement.

Formulas Required

• Stock-to-Target Ratio (%): `=IF([Units Available for Sale] > 0, [Units Available for Sale] / [Target Quantity], 0)` – used in Goal Progress Tracker to calculate performance.
• Goal Status Assignment: Uses nested IF logic: =IF(F3 >= 0.8, "On Track", IF(F3 >= 0.5, "At Risk", "Behind Target")) where F3 is the stock-to-target ratio.
• Inventory Turnover (Monthly): `=SUM(Sales Units) / Average Inventory` – calculated in Reports & Analytics sheet using historical sales data.
• Forecasted Reorder Date: `=IF([Current Stock] <= [Reorder Point], TODAY() + 7, "")` to trigger alerts.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Stock Alerts (Red Highlight): If current stock ≤ reorder point → red background in Product Inventory Master.
• Goal Status Color Coding:
  • "On Track" → Green
  • "At Risk" → Yellow
  • "Behind Target" → Red
• Low Stock Warnings (Orange): When stock is less than 10% of reorder point.
• Performance Trends (Gradient): In the Goal Progress Tracker, use data bars to visually represent goal achievement progression.
