| Column Name | Data Type/Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item ID (Auto) | Text (Auto-generated) | A unique 6-digit alphanumeric code assigned automatically for tracking. |

Key Formulas Used in Data Version Template
- Status Column:
=IF(ExpirationDate - Auto-Generated Item ID: Uses a formula like:
=TEXT(TODAY(), "yyyymm")&TEXT(COUNTA(tblInventory[Item Name])+1, "000")to create unique IDs based on date and entry order. - Category Summary (Category Summary Sheet): Uses
SUMIFS(),COUNTIF(), andAVERAGEIF()to aggregate data by category, such as total stock value per category or average reorder points. - Last Updated Refresh: Applies conditional logic to update the "Last Updated" field dynamically only when a user edits any cell in the row.
Conditional Formatting Rules
The template uses intelligent conditional formatting to enhance usability and alertness:
- Low Stock Alerts: Cells with "Low Stock" status are highlighted in yellow with red text.
- Expired Items: Items with expiration dates in the past are shaded in bright red and bolded.
- Bulk Inventory: If Current Stock > 50, background color shifts to light green to indicate surplus.
- Dates Approaching Expiry: Any item expiring within 7 days is marked with a warning icon and orange fill.
