Essential Formulas
- Profit per Unit (Inventory Sheet): =E2-D2
- Total Inventory Value: =F2*I2
- ROI for Campaigns: =((I2*(VLOOKUP(G2,ProductInventory!A:I,5,FALSE)-VLOOKUP(G2,ProductInventory!A:I,4,FALSE))) - F2)/F2*100
- Stock Alert (Conditional Formatting): Triggers if Current Stock ≤ Reorder Level.
- Total Campaign Profit: Uses SUMPRODUCT to link promoted products with sales data.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red highlight on Product Inventory: If “Current Stock” ≤ “Reorder Level”, the row turns red to alert you to reorder.
- Green/Red for ROI: In Marketing Campaigns, ROI > 100% = Green; ROI < 0% = Red.
- Color-coded categories: Each product category has a background color (e.g., Blue for Home Decor) for quick visual sorting.
