Formulas Required

• In Stock_Marketing_Metrics, use: =SUMIFS(Sales_Performance!Sales_Units, Sales_Performance!Campaign_ID, Marketing_Campaigns!A2) / SUMIF(Marketing_Campaigns!E:E, A2, Marketing_Campaigns!E:E) to calculate ROI per dollar spent.
• In Stock_Inventory, use: =IF(Current_Stock <= Safety_Stock_Level, "LOW STOCK - ACTION REQUIRED", IF(Current_Stock >= Reorder_Point, "OK", "REORDER NEEDED")) for automated stock alerts.
• In Sales_Performance, use: =VLOOKUP(SKU_Code, Stock_Inventory!A:B, 2, FALSE) to auto-populate current inventory during sales recording.
• In Dashboard_Report, use array formulas to calculate:
  • Stock-to-Sales Ratio: =SUM(Stock_Inventory!Current_Stock)/SUM(Sales_Performance!Sales_Units)
  • Campaign Efficiency Index: =AVERAGEIF(Marketing_Campaigns!Status, "Completed", Stock_Marketing_Metrics!ROI)

Conditional Formatting

• Stock_Inventory - Current_Stock: Red fill if ≤ Safety_Stock_Level; Yellow if ≤ Reorder_Point but > Safety; Green if above.
• Marketing_Campaigns - Budget_Allocated: Blue border if campaign is "Active" and Current_Stock for target SKUs is below Expected_Sales_Volume.
• Dashboard_Report: Traffic light indicators (Red/Yellow/Green) next to each KPI based on threshold comparisons.

User Instructions

1. Begin by entering your product catalog and current stock levels into the Stock_Inventory sheet. Use the dropdowns for Category and Location.
2. Create marketing campaigns in Marketing_Campaigns, linking them to specific SKUs via comma-separated values in "Target_SKUs".
3. Update weekly sales data in the Sales_Performance sheet by matching Campaign_ID and SKU_Code.
4. Do not edit formulas or protected sheets. All calculations are automated.
5. The Dashboard_Report updates dynamically—refresh pivot tables via Data > Refresh All if external data is imported.
6. If stock falls below Safety Stock, a red flag appears; contact procurement immediately and consider pausing or adjusting the associated campaign to avoid overselling.
