Inventory Dashboard
A dynamic table with calculated KPIs: - Item Name - Current Stock Level - Reorder Threshold - Status Indicator (Stock Low, Normal, Overstock) - Last Reordered DateFormulas Required
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas for automation and intelligence:- Auto-Increment Order ID:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & COUNTA(OrdersLog[Order ID]) + 1 - Expected Delivery Date:
=IF([@Date Ordered]="", "", [@Date Ordered] + VLOOKUP([@Vendor Name], VendorsMaster, 5, FALSE)) - Status Color Indicator: Use =IF(OR([@Status]="Delivered", [@Status]="Received"), "Green", IF([@Expected Delivery Date] <= TODAY(), "Red", "Yellow"))
- Total Cost Calculation:
=[@Quantity Ordered] * [@Unit Cost] - Days Overdue:
=IF(AND([@Status]="In Transit", [@Expected Delivery Date] <= TODAY()), TODAY() - [@Expected Delivery Date], 0) - Inventory Reorder Trigger: Use conditional logic: =IF([@Current Stock Level] < [@Reorder Threshold], "Reorder Now", "OK")
Conditional Formatting Rules
The template applies visual cues to improve readability and alert users:- Overdue Orders: If Expected Delivery Date is in the past and Status ≠ Delivered → Highlight cell in red.
- Status Column: Color code cells: Green for "Delivered", Yellow for "In Transit", Red for "Cancelled" or overdue, Blue for "Pending".
- Stock Levels: Use color scales: Red (below threshold), Yellow (near threshold), Green (adequate).
- High-Cost Items: Highlight rows where Total Cost exceeds £500 with bold red text.
