Key Formulas

In the Sales Forecast sheet: =ProductInventory[Current Stock] * (1 + MarketingCampaigns[Expected Sales Lift %]) to project demand per product.
In the Planning View: =IF(AND([Start Date]>=TODAY(), [End Date]<=TODAY()+30), "Active in 30 Days", IF([End Date]
In the Product Inventory sheet: =IF([Current Stock] <= [Reorder Point], "LOW STOCK", IF([Current Stock] >= ([Safety Stock]*2), "OVERSTOCKED", "OPTIMAL")) for instant inventory health alerts.
In the Budget Allocation sheet: =SUMIFS(MarketingCampaigns[Budget Allocated], MarketingCampaigns[Product SKU], ProductInventory[SKU]) to auto-calculate total spend per product.

Conditional Formatting

Inventory Status: Red fill if “LOW STOCK”, yellow if “OVERSTOCKED”, green if “OPTIMAL”.
Campaign Budget Usage: Bar icons in Budget column based on % of total allocated spend.
Date Ranges: Highlight cells where campaign end date is within 7 days of current inventory depletion (using formula: =AND([End Date]-[Days Until Stockout]<=7, [Current Stock] < [Target Units Sold])).

Instructions for the User

Step 1: Input all products and current inventory levels in the “Product Inventory” sheet. Update lead times and safety stock based on supplier agreements.

Step 2: Define your marketing campaigns in “Marketing Campaigns,” linking each to a Product SKU. Estimate expected sales lift using historical data or market research.

Step 3: Enter budget allocations per campaign and verify that total spend aligns with annual marketing goals on the Dashboard.

Step 4: Open the “Planning View” sheet to see a dynamic Gantt-style calendar. This visualizes when campaigns run relative to inventory levels. If red alerts appear, adjust campaign timing or order more stock immediately.

Step 5: Refresh data weekly. Use the Dashboard’s charts to report campaign ROI and inventory turnover ratios to stakeholders.
