Formulas Required

This template leverages a combination of lookup, conditional, and aggregation functions to automate data processing:

• =VLOOKUP(ProductCode, 'Product Inventory Master'!$A$1:$F$100, 3, FALSE) – Fetches current stock level from master inventory list.
• =IF([@Current Inventory Level] < [@[Reorder Threshold]], "Y", "N") – Automatically triggers reorder alert when stock falls below threshold.
• =SUMIFS([Budget Spent], [Campaign ID], CampaignID) – Totals budget spent per campaign across multiple days.
• =COUNTIF([Reorder Alert], "Y") – Counts daily instances where stock alerts are triggered (useful for dashboard).
• =AVERAGEIF([Units Sold (During Campaign)], ">0", [Units Sold]) – Calculates average daily sales driven by marketing efforts.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual monitoring and urgency detection:

• Red Fill with White Text: Applied to cells in “Current Inventory Level” when the value is below the “Reorder Threshold” (i.e., danger zone).
• Yellow Fill: Highlights rows where “Reorder Alert” equals "Y" for immediate attention.
• Glowing Green Bars: Used in "Budget Spent" column to visualize high expenditure days against average daily spending.
