=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") - Inventory Valuation (Current Stock Value): In the Dashboard sheet, use
=SUMIFS('Inventory Transactions Log'!$F:$F,'Inventory Transactions Log'!$C:$C,B2,'Inventory Transactions Log'!$D:$D,">0") - SUMIFS('Inventory Transactions Log'!$F:$F,'Inventory Transactions Log'!$C:$C,B2,'Inventory Transactions Log'!$D:$D,"<0")to calculate current stock value by product. - Net Cash Flow:
=SUM(CashFlowStatement[Opening Cash Balance],CashFlowStatement[Inventory Purchases],CashFlowStatement[Adjustments],CashFlowStatement[Sales Revenue Received]) - SUM(CashFlowStatement[AP Payments]) - Closing Cash Balance:
=B2+C2(where B2 is opening balance and C2 is net cash flow) - Daily Cash Flow Trend: Use pivot tables with time-based grouping to analyze daily/monthly patterns.
