Product-Marketing Alignment Dashboard Sheet
This is the core of the Client View — a dynamic, color-coded summary that links marketing campaigns to inventory status using formulas and conditional formatting.
Formulas Required
- =VLOOKUP([@SKU],InventoryLevels!A:F,3,FALSE) — Pulls current stock into Marketing Calendar.
- =IF([@[Target Units to Sell]] > [@[Current Stock]], "RISK: Low Inventory", "SAFE") — Flags campaigns where demand exceeds supply.
- =DATEDIF(TODAY(),[@[Purchase Order Due Date]],"d") — Calculates days until next restock.
- =SUMIFS(InventoryLevels!C:C,InventoryLevels!A:A,MarketingCalendar!C:C) — Sums inventory across matching SKUs for dashboard totals.
- =COUNTIFS(MarketingCalendar![Status],"Active",MarketingCalendar![Target Units to Sell],">"&MarketingCalendar![Current Stock]) — Counts campaigns at risk of stockouts.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red Fill: If "Target Units to Sell" > "Current Stock" + Safety Stock Threshold.
- Yellow Fill: If days until restock ≤ 7 and current stock is below 50% of target units.
- Green Fill: If current stock ≥ Target Units to Sell * 1.2 (buffer for oversell).
- Bold Text + Orange Border: On Dashboard, if “Campaigns at Risk” > 3.
User Instructions
To use this template effectively:
- Update the Inventory Levels sheet weekly with actual stock counts and reorder dates.
- In the Marketing Calendar, input all upcoming campaigns, ensuring Product SKUs match those in inventory.
- The Dashboard will auto-update with risk alerts. If any row turns red, consult your supply chain team immediately — do not proceed with advertising until stock is confirmed.
- Use the Client Reports sheet to generate monthly summaries for internal stakeholders or clients. This sheet exports a clean, branded PDF-ready layout with charts and KPIs.
- Never manually edit formulas in the Dashboard — use only data entry cells marked in yellow background.
