The template consists of four distinct sheets to maintain organization and functionality:

1. Inventory Overview: The main dashboard featuring summary KPIs, charts, and high-level insights.
2. Product List & Details: A comprehensive table with all products, their descriptions, quantities, cost values, and status.
3. KPI Calculations & Metrics: The analytical core where formulas compute KPIs such as Inventory Turnover Ratio, Stockout Rate, and Holding Cost.
4. Print Preview & Layout: A formatted version of the main sheets optimized for printing with headers, footers, page breaks, and consistent formatting.

Table Structures and Columns (Product List & Details Sheet)

The core data is stored in a well-structured table named tblProductInventory. Below is the full structure of the columns:

Formulas Required

To support real-time KPI monitoring, the template includes dynamic formulas across multiple sheets:

• Status Column Formula: =IF([@Current Stock Level] >= [@Reorder Point], "In Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] <= 0, "Out of Stock", "Low Stock"))
• Total Inventory Value (Product List Sheet): =[@[Current Stock Level]] * [@Cost per Unit]
• Inventory Turnover Ratio (KPI Calculations Sheet): =Total Annual Sales / Average Inventory Value Where "Total Annual Sales" and "Average Inventory Value" are calculated from the Product List.
• Stockout Rate (%): =COUNTIF(Status Column, "Out of Stock") / COUNTA(Status Column) * 100
• Total Number of Products with Low Stock: =COUNTIF([Status], "Low Stock")
• Value of Inventory in Danger (Low/Out-of-Stock): =SUMIFS([Total Inventory Value], [Status], "Low Stock") + SUMIFS([Total Inventory Value], [Status], "Out of Stock")

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and alert users to potential issues, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Low Stock Alerts: Cells in the "Current Stock Level" column turn red when below the Reorder Point.
• Out of Stock Highlighting: Rows with status = "Out of Stock" have a background color of dark red (#cc0000) and white text.
• In Stock (Normal): Green background for "In Stock" status.
• Inventory Value Trends: Conditional formatting based on percentile—higher inventory values in light green, lower ones in yellow.
