Formulas Required

Key formulas ensure automation and accuracy:

Ending Stock Level: = Beginning Stock + Received - Issued - Adjustments (in Inventory Tracking sheet)
Closing Cash Balance: = Opening Cash Balance + Net Cash Flow (in Dashboard)
Net Cash Flow: = SUM(Cash Inflows) - SUM(Cash Outflows) (Dashboard)
Inventory Turnover Rate: = Total Units Sold / Average Weekly Inventory Level
Duplicate Entry Detection: Use conditional formatting and formulas like COUNTIFS to detect duplicate transaction dates and items.
SUMIFS() Functions: To aggregate cash flows by category across multiple weeks.

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual insight:

Negative Net Cash Flow: Highlight cell in red if negative (indicating cash deficit).
Stock Below Reorder Point: Apply yellow background to rows where Ending Stock Level is less than Reorder Point.
Cash Balance Trending Down: Use a data bar for Closing Cash Balance over multiple weeks to visualize cash decline.
Sales Spike Alert: If weekly sales exceed 150% of the average, highlight in green.
