Formulas Required
- In Inventory Tracking: =IF([Current_Stock] <= [Safety_Stock_Level], "Low", IF([Current_Stock] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) — auto-updates Status column.
- In Sales Forecasting: =SUMIFS(InventoryTracking[Current_Stock], InventoryTracking[Marketing_Campaign_ID], Campaigns[Campaign_ID]) * Campaigns[Target_Sales_Volume] / SUM(Campaigns[Target_Sales_Volume]) — adjusts forecast based on campaign priority.
- In Dashboard: =SUMIFS(InventoryTracking[Unit_Cost], InventoryTracking[Status], "Low") — calculates total value at risk for low-stock items.
- In Stock Alerts: =IF(AND([Current_Stock] <= [Safety_Stock_Level], [Lead_Time_Days] > 5), "URGENT REORDER NEEDED", IF([Current_Stock] <= [Safety_Stock_Level], "Reorder Recommended", "")) — flags critical shortages.
Conditional Formatting
- Red Fill: When Status = “Out of Stock” in Inventory Tracking.
- Amber Fill: When Status = “Low” and Campaign is Active (cross-referenced with Marketing Campaigns).
- Green Fill: Items with stock > 2x Safety Level.
- Text Color Highlighting: Any row in Marketing Campaigns where Budget_Allocated exceeds Projected_Sales * Unit_Cost — signals over-allocation risk.
