Formulas Required
- **Total Inventory Value (in Balance Sheet sheet):** ```excel =SUMPRODUCT(Inventory_Master_List!$D$2:$D$100, Inventory_Master_List!$F$2:$F$100) ``` This calculates the total inventory value using current quantity and cost price. - **Low Stock Alert (in Inventory Master List):** ```excel =IF(Current_Quantity < Reorder_Level, "Reorder Required", "OK") ``` - **Auto-update Last Updated Date:** Use a VBA macro or formula like: ```excel =TODAY() ``` (Set to update on cell change via conditional formatting rule). - **Dynamic Summary Metrics in Dashboard Sheet:** Use `COUNTIF`, `SUMIF`, and `AVERAGE` for metrics such as total items, average cost per unit, or number of low-stock items.Conditional Formatting
- **Low Stock Items:** Highlight cells with red fill ifCurrent Quantity < Reorder Level.
- **High Inventory Value:** Yellow background for items where (Cost Price × Quantity) exceeds a threshold (e.g., $10,000).
- **Outdated Records:** If Last Updated Date is older than 30 days, apply light gray fill.
- **Summary Cells in Balance Sheet:** Use green borders for positive totals; red borders if values go negative.

| Item ID | Item Name | Category | Unit of Measure | Current Quantity | Cost Price per Unit | Reorder Level | |---------|------------------|----------------|-----------------|------------------|--------------------|---------------| | INV001 | Aluminum Sheet | Raw Materials | KG | 500.0 | $2.50 | 250 | | INV014 | LED Panel | Finished Goods | PCS | 78 | $39.99 | 15 | | INV123 | Screw Kit | Raw Materials | PACK | 42 | $4.25 | 50 | > *Note: For INV014, Current Quantity (78) < Reorder Level (15)? No → Status: "OK" — but actually, since it’s below reorder level of 15? Wait — correction needed.* *Correction:* If the current quantity is **78** and reorder level is **15**, then status = "OK", because 78 ≥ 15. The alert triggers only when quantity falls below the threshold.Recommended Charts and Dashboards
- **Inventory Value by Category (Pie Chart):** Visualize how much capital is tied up in raw materials vs. finished goods. - **Trend of Inventory Value Over Time (Line Chart):** Plot monthly inventory value to detect spikes or declines. - **Low Stock Alert Bar Chart:** Show items below reorder level with red bars. - **Inventory Turnover Ratio Gauge:** Display turnover rate as a percentage on a dial-style meter. The Summary Dashboard integrates all these visualizations into one view, making it ideal for executive reporting and inventory strategy meetings.
