Formulas Required

The template employs a range of Excel formulas to automate calculations:

Dynamic Stock Alerts: `=IF([@Current Stock Qty] <= [@Reorder Level], "Low Stock - Reorder Now", "")` applied across the stock table.
Inventory Value Calculation: `=[@Current Stock Qty] * [@Unit Cost]` to calculate total value per item.
Average Delivery Time: `=AVERAGEIFS(DeliveryTimeRange, ProjectStatusRange, "Completed")` in the KPI Tracker.
On-Time Rate KPI: `=COUNTIF(StatusColumn,"On Time")/COUNTA(StatusColumn)` to show percentage of timely deliveries.
Stock Turnover Ratio: `=SUM(ItemsSold)/AVERAGE(OpeningStock, ClosingStock)` for each item category.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and urgency:

Red Highlight: When stock level is below reorder threshold (using a formula-based rule).
Yellow Background: For items with 2–5 units remaining (warning zone).
Green Text: On KPI cells showing performance above target (e.g., “On-Time Rate: 96%”).
Data Bars: Applied to the "Inventory Value" column for visual ranking of high-value stock.
