Formulas Required
- In the Product Inventory sheet, the column "Projected Sales (Next 30 Days)" uses:
=IF([@Promoted?]="Yes", VLOOKUP([@Marketing Campaign ID], MarketingCampaigns!A:F, 6, FALSE)*0.4, MAX(10,[@Current Stock]*0.1))This assumes promoted items see a 40% sales uplift from baseline (estimated at 10% of current stock). - Column "Stock Status" (added manually by user or via formula):
=IF([@Current Stock]<=[@Safety Stock Level],"LOW STOCK","OK") - In the Dashboard sheet, total marketing spend:
=SUM(MarketingCampaigns!F:F) - Inventory value total:
=SUMPRODUCT(ProductInventory!G:G, ProductInventory!H:H)(Unit Cost × Current Stock)
Conditional Formatting
- Stock Status: Red fill if “LOW STOCK”, green if “OK”.
- Budget Usage: In Campaigns sheet, color code budget spent as % of total — amber for 75-90%, red for >90%.
- Promoted Products: Light yellow background on rows where “Promoted?” is "Yes".
