Formulas Required

• Current Stock Level (Inventory Log): =VLOOKUP([@Item Name], 'Supplies Master List'!$A:$H, 3, FALSE) + SUMIF(Inventory Log[Item Name], [@Item Name], Inventory Log[Quantity Added]) - SUMIF(Inventory Log[Item Name], [@Item Name], Inventory Log[Quantity Removed])
• Status (Auto-update): =IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", "Active"))
• Daily Total Items Used: =SUMIFS(Inventory Log[Quantity Removed], Inventory Log[Date], TODAY())
• Category-wise Usage (in Dashboard): Use SUMIFS() to aggregate usage per category on a daily or weekly basis.
• Auto-fill Date: In the "Date" column, use: =TODAY()

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Items: Highlight cells in the "Status" column with yellow background if value is "Low Stock".
• Out of Stock: Apply red font and bold text for items where current stock level is zero.
• Daily Usage Spike: If daily usage exceeds average by 20%, highlight row in orange.
• Status Change Alert: Conditional formatting based on changes in status from previous day (requires historical tracking).
