| F | Reorder Threshold | Numeric (Minimum quantity before restocking; e.g., 5 rolls) |
| G | Last Updated Date | Date format (Auto-updated when record is modified) |
| H | Status Indicator (Automated) | Text/Conditional Formatting output: "OK", "Low Stock", or "Critical" |
Essential Formulas
This template leverages Excel formulas to automate inventory tracking and generate actionable insights:
- Status Indicator (Column H):
=IF(D3 - Last Updated Date (Column G):
=TODAY()– Automatically updates to today’s date whenever a row is edited. Can be enhanced with VBA for automatic timestamping. - Total Items Count:
On the Dashboard sheet, use:
=COUNTA(InventoryMasterList!B:B)-1(excludes header row). - Total Low Stock Items:
On the Dashboard sheet:
=COUNTIF(InventoryMasterList!H:H, "Low Stock")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and usability, the template applies conditional formatting to key columns:
- Status Indicator (Column H): - "Critical": Red background with white text - "Low Stock": Yellow background with dark text - "OK": Green background with white text
- Current Quantity (Column D): Apply data bars to visualize inventory levels across products.
- Category Column (C): Use color coding by category (e.g., blue for Food, green for Cleaning) to enable quick visual scanning.
