Formulas Used

The template leverages dynamic formulas for automation:

=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Minimum Threshold], "Reorder Required", "In Stock") — Flags items in the Inventory Log.
=MAX(0, [@Minimum Threshold] - [@Current Stock Level]) — Calculates units needed for reorder in Reorder Alerts sheet.
=SUMIFS('Personal Finance Tracker'!$D:$D, 'Personal Finance Tracker'!$C:$C, "Food", 'Personal Finance Tracker'!$A:$A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,DAY(TODAY())), 'Personal Finance Tracker'!$A:$A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)) — Monthly food expense total (used in Dashboard).
=SUM('Personal Finance Tracker'!$D:$D) — Net monthly cash flow.
=COUNTIF('Inventory Log'!$G:$G, "Purchase") — Counts total purchases for the month.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and urgency:

Low Stock Alert (Red Background): Applies to cells in “Current Stock Level” column where value ≤ Minimum Threshold.
Reorder Required (Bright Red Text, Yellow Background): Uses formula-based rule: =AND([@Current Stock Level]<=[@Minimum Threshold], [@Current Stock Level]>0).
Positive Income (Green Highlight): In Personal Finance Tracker, where Amount > 0.
Negative Expenses (Red Highlight): Where Amount < 0.
