Table Structures and Columns

The primary sheet—Inventory Master List—features a robust table structure with 10 essential columns:

Formulas Used in the Template

This template leverages several built-in Excel formulas to automate inventory tracking and reduce manual errors:

• =IF(Current Stock <= Reorder Level, "Reorder Required", "In Stock"): Displays a status label in the "Status" column (visible on the Reorder Alerts sheet).
• =ROUNDUP(Reorder Level / Current Stock, 0): Calculates how many times more stock is needed if current inventory is below reorder level.
• =SUMPRODUCT((Category="Stationery")*(Current Stock>0)): Counts total unique stationery items in stock.
• =SUMPRODUCT((Inventory Master List!$D:$D)*($E:$E)): Totals the current inventory value across all items (unit price × current stock).
• IF(ISBLANK(Last Ordered Date), "Never", Last Ordered Date): Handles missing data gracefully.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and support quick decision-making, the template includes dynamic conditional formatting rules:

• Red Highlighting: Cells in the "Current Stock" column turn red if value ≤ Reorder Level.
• Yellow Highlighting: Items with stock between 50% and 90% of reorder level are highlighted in yellow as a warning.
• Green Highlighting: Items above the reorder level are shown in light green to indicate adequate inventory.
• Conditional Text Color: "Reorder Required" text appears in bold red for immediate attention.
