Sheet: Product Inventory Master List

Key Formulas

• Stock Status Indicator: =IF(Current_Stock_Level <= Reorder_Point, "Low Stock", IF(Current_Stock_Level = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) — Dynamically flags inventory status.
• Inventory Turnover Ratio: =IF(Annual_Sales > 0, Annual_Sales / ((Beginning_Inventory + Ending_Inventory)/2), 0) — Measures how fast inventory is sold and replaced.
• Marketing ROI Calculator (in Campaign Sheet): = (Revenue_From_Campaign - Marketing_Cost) / Marketing_Cost — Calculates return on marketing investment as a percentage.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Red Text for "Out of Stock" Status: Automatically highlights products with zero stock in red.
• Yellow Highlight for "Low Stock": Products below their reorder point are highlighted in yellow to prompt immediate action.
• Bullet Point Color Coding: In the Marketing Plan Dashboard, campaign statuses use color-coded bullets (e.g., green = On Track, red = Delayed).
• Data Bars for Spend vs. Budget: Visual bar graphs in the "Marketing Spend Tracker" show how actual spending compares to planned budgets.
