Table Structures & Data Columns
Sheet 1: Inventory Master
This is the foundational table where all inventory data is recorded. It includes:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Example |

| Product ID | Text / Number (Unique) | e.g., PROD-00123 – Unique identifier for tracking. |
| Product Name | Text | e.g., Wireless Headphones Pro Max |
| Category | Dropdown List (e.g., Electronics, Apparel, Tools) | Facilitates filtering and grouping. |
| Current Stock Level | Numerical (Integer) | e.g., 150 units – Actual physical count. |
| Reorder Point | Numerical (Float/Integer) | e.g., 50 units – Minimum stock level before reordering. |
| Lead Time (Days) | Numerical (Integer) | e.g., 7 days – Average time from order to arrival. |
| Monthly Demand Avg | Numerical (Float) | e.g., 23.5 units – Calculated based on historical sales. |
| Warehouse Location | Text or Dropdown (e.g., A1, Zone B, Shelf 4) | Physical storage location for easy retrieval. |
| Last Updated Date | Date (Auto-populated) | e.g., 05/15/2024 – Tracks data freshness. |
Sheet 2: Growth Forecasting
This sheet models future inventory needs under different growth scenarios (e.g., +10%, +25%, +50% annual growth). It features:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description & Example |
|---|---|---|
| Forecast Period (Month/Year) | Date (Monthly format) | e.g., January 2025 – Defines the time frame. |
| Product ID | Text / Number | Links to Inventory Master for data pull. |
| Base Demand (Units) | Numerical | e.g., 235 – Current average monthly demand. |
| Growth Rate (%) | Percentage Input | e.g., 15% – User-defined growth assumption. |
| Projected Demand (Units) | Numerical (Formula-driven) | = Base Demand * (1 + Growth Rate) – Auto-calculated. |
| Recommended Stock Level | Numerical | = Projected Demand + Safety Stock (calculated based on lead time). |
Key Formulas Required
- Projected Demand: = B3 * (1 + D3)
- Safety Stock: = (Lead Time / 30) * Monthly Demand Avg – accounts for variability.
- Recommended Stock Level: = Projected Demand + Safety Stock
- Stockout Risk Indicator:= IF(Actual_Stock < Reorder_Point, "High", IF(Actual_Stock < Recommended_Stock, "Moderate", "Low"))
- Inventory Turnover Ratio (Dashboard): = Annual Sales / Average Inventory Value
Conditional Formatting Rules
- High Risk Stock Levels: If actual stock is below the reorder point, highlight cell in red.
- Aging Inventory: Highlight products with no sales in 90+ days using amber color.
- Growth Forecast Accuracy: Color cells green if forecasted demand exceeds actual by less than 10% (ideal).
- Reorder Alert: Use icon sets to show “⚠️” for products needing restocking.
