Formulas Required
- Total Inventory Value:
=SUMPRODUCT(InventoryData[Current Stock Level], InventoryData[Cost per Unit]) - Days of Supply:
=IFERROR([Current Stock Level]/AVERAGEIFS(UsageData[Units Used], UsageData[Item ID], [Item ID]), "N/A")(requires usage data linked via Power Query). - Pivot Table Calculated Fields: “% of Total Value” = [Inventory Value] / [Total Inventory Value]
- Dynamically Updated KPIs: Use
SUMIFS,COUNTIFS, andINDEX(MATCH)to pull real-time values. - Predictive Reorder Logic: Conditional formula using nested IFs and VLOOKUP to flag items based on stock level vs. reorder point.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Stock Level Alerts:
- Red Fill: If Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point
- Yellow Fill: If 90% of Reorder Point < Current Stock Level < Reorder Point
- Green Fill: If Above Reorder Point
