Formulas Required
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:
=H2 = F2 * G2 // Total Revenue =J2 = H2 - (F2 * I2) // Gross Profit =K2 = VLOOKUP(C$1, Product_Master_List!$A:$G, 4, FALSE) - F1 // Inventory Remaining After Sale
Dynamic inventory updates are achieved via:
=SUMIF(Product_Master_List!$A:$A, C2, Product_Master_List!$D:$D) // Current stock for a given SKU
The dashboard uses INDEX-MATCH and SUMIFS to aggregate sales by date/category/product.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Stock Alert: Highlight rows in the Product Master List where “Current Stock” is less than “Reorder Level” using a red fill with white text.
- Sales Volume Trends: Apply data bars to the "Units Sold" column to visualize high vs low-performing items.
- Profit Margin: Color-code Gross Profit (J) as green if above 25%, yellow for 10–25%, red below 10%.
