Sheet Name

Inventory Tracker (Main Sheet)

This single sheet contains all necessary components of the warehouse inventory system: data entry table, summary dashboard, formulas, conditional formatting rules, and embedded charts—all consolidated into one seamless interface.

Table Structure

The primary data area is structured as a dynamic Excel Table named "tblInventory". It includes the following columns:

The minimum stock level that triggers a reorder alert.

Automatically populates with the current date when updated.

Dynamically displays "Low Stock", "In Stock", or "Out of Stock" using conditional logic.

Formulas Required

The following formulas are implemented across the sheet:

• Item ID (Column A): =IF(A1="", "INV"&TEXT(COUNTA(tblInventory[Item Name])+1,"000"), "")
  This generates a unique ID like INV001, INV002, etc., based on the number of existing entries.
• Last Updated (Column F): =TODAY() placed in the header row and copied down using table formatting.
• Status (Column G): =IF([@Current Stock]<=[@Reorder Level], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Stock]=0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock"))
  This formula automatically assesses stock levels and provides immediate visual feedback.
• Summary Metrics (Top Section):
  • Total Items: =COUNTA(tblInventory[Item Name])
  • Total Stock Value: (if unit price is added later) = SUMPRODUCT(tblInventory[Current Stock], tblInventory[Unit Price])
  • Items Below Reorder Level: =COUNTIF(tblInventory[Status],"Low Stock")
  • Out of Stock Items: =COUNTIF(tblInventory[Status],"Out of Stock")

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and quickly identify critical inventory states, the following rules are applied:

• Low Stock (Yellow Background): Applies to cells in the "Status" column where value is "Low Stock".
  Rule: Formula = (G2="Low Stock")
• Out of Stock (Red Background with White Text): Applies when stock level is 0.
  Rule: Formula = (E2=0)
• In Stock (Green Background): Default state for items with sufficient stock.
  Rule: Formula = (G2="In Stock")
• Current Stock Column Highlight: Bars in red for values below reorder level, green otherwise, using data bars.
