- Inventory List: Core table storing all product details, quantities, locations, and expiry dates.
- Categories & Tags: Master list of inventory categories (e.g., Pantry, Cleaning Supplies) and custom tags (e.g., Organic, Reusable).
- Restock Alerts: Automated list showing items that are below threshold or have expired.
- Dashboards: Visual summary of inventory status with charts and KPIs.
- Shopping List Generator: Dynamic list that compiles items to buy based on current stock levels and thresholds.
Table Structures & Columns (Inventory List)
The main data source is the "Inventory List" worksheet, structured as a modern Excel Table with headers. Below are the essential columns: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |--------------|-----------|-------------| | Product ID | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each product (e.g., P001, P002). Auto-assigned via formula. | | Product Name | Text | Full name of the item (e.g., "Organic Almond Milk"). | | Category | Dropdown (from Categories & Tags sheet) | Selected from predefined categories. Helps in grouping and filtering. | | Subcategory | Text/Optional Dropdown| E.g., "Dairy Alternatives", "Laundry Detergent". | | Brand | Text | Manufacturer or brand name. | | Current Quantity (Units) | Number (Decimal allowed) | Current amount in stock (e.g., 5 bottles, 2.3 liters). | | Unit Type | Dropdown (e.g., bottle, box, liter, pack) | Defines measurement unit for consistency. | | Threshold Level| Number | Minimum quantity before an alert is triggered (e.g., 3 units). | | Reorder Point?| Boolean (Yes/No) | Automatically flagged when current stock ≤ threshold. | | Last Updated Date| Date | Auto-updated timestamp on manual changes. | | Location | Text | Where the product is stored (e.g., "Kitchen Pantry", "Bathroom Cabinet"). | | Expiry Date | Date | Critical for perishables; triggers alerts when within 7 days. |Formulas Required
The template leverages built-in Excel functions to automate tracking and decision-making: -=IF([@Current Quantity] <= [@Threshold Level], "Yes", "No"): Flags items needing restock.
- =IF([@Expiry Date] <= TODAY() + 7, "Expiring Soon", ""): Identifies soon-to-expire items.
- =TEXT(TODAY(), "MMM DD, YYYY"): Auto-populates the last updated date when a row is edited (via VBA or manual update).
- =COUNTIFS(Inventory[Reorder Point?], "Yes"): Counts total items that need restocking.
- =FILTER(Inventory[Product Name], Inventory[Reorder Point?] = "Yes") (in Shopping List Generator sheet): Dynamically pulls only items to buy.
Conditional Formatting Rules
Visual cues help users quickly identify critical issues: - **Red Background & Bold Text**: When current quantity ≤ threshold (indicates low stock). - **Yellow Highlight**: Items expiring within the next 7 days. - **Green Fill**: Inventory is at or above threshold and safe to use. - **Pulsing Icon (if using Excel 365)**: Animated warning for expired items.User Instructions
