Table Structures and Columns (Inventory Log - Daily Tracking)

Formulas Required

• New Stock Level: `=IF(OR(B2="", C2=""), "", D2 + E2)` — calculates updated stock after an action.
• Low-Stock Alert (Column F): `=IF(F2 <= G2, "REORDER NEEDED", "")` — highlights items below threshold.
• Daily Usage Summary: On the Dashboard sheet, use `SUMIFS()` to count daily usage across categories.
• Reorder Date Prediction: In Reorder Tracker, formula: `=IF(H2="", "", TODAY() + (G2 - F2)/AVERAGE(DailyUsage))` — estimates when stock will run out.

Conditional Formatting

• Low-Stock Items: Highlight red if Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Threshold.
• Daily Updates: Apply light yellow background to rows where today’s date is in the Date column.
• Action Types: Color-code cells based on Action Taken: green for "Restocked", red for "Removed", blue for "Used".
