Table Structures and Data Types

Sheet 1: Inventory Master

This sheet contains a structured table of all products in inventory. It uses Excel Tables (Ctrl+T) for dynamic range expansion. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |---------------------|--------------------|-----------| | Product ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier (e.g., P001, ITEM-23) | | Product Name | Text | Full name of the product (e.g., "Wooden Desk Lamp") | | Category | Text | Grouping such as "Office Supplies", "Craft Materials", etc. | | Supplier | Text | Name of vendor or supplier | | Unit Cost | Currency (USD) | Cost per unit purchased | | Current Stock | Number | Real-time stock quantity on hand (updated automatically) | | Reorder Level | Number | Threshold to trigger reordering (e.g., 5 units) | | Last Updated | Date & Time | Auto-filled timestamp when updated |

Sheet 2: Daily Transactions

Records every movement of stock, including purchases, sales, and adjustments. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |---------------------|--------------------|-----------| | Transaction ID | Text/Number | Unique transaction number (e.g., TXN-2025-045) | | Date & Time | Date & Time | When the transaction occurred | | Product ID | Text/Number | Links to Inventory Master via VLOOKUP | | Type | Text ("Purchase", "Sale", "Adjustment") | | Quantity | Number - positive for purchases, negative for sales | | Reason (Optional) | Text - e.g., "Customer Order #101" or "Damaged unit" |

Formulas and Automation

This template leverages Excel formulas to maintain data integrity and automate calculations:

Current Stock (Inventory Master):
Formula: =SUMIF(Daily Transactions!C:C, Inventory Master[@[Product ID]], Daily Transactions!E:E)
This calculates the net stock by summing all transaction quantities for each product.
Stock Status (Inventory Master):
Formula: =IF(Inventory Master[@[Current Stock]] <= Inventory Master[@[Reorder Level]], "Low", "In Stock")
Automatically flags low-stock items.
Auto-Generated Transaction ID:
Formula: ="TXN-"&TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
Creates unique IDs based on date and row number.
Dashboard KPIs (Dashboard Summary):
- Total Products: =COUNTA(Inventory Master[Product ID])
- Total Stock Value: =SUMPRODUCT(Inventory Master[Current Stock], Inventory Master[Unit Cost])
- Low-Stock Items Count: =COUNTIF(Inventory Master[Stock Status], "Low")

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual clarity and enables quick identification of issues:

Low Stock Highlighting: Apply red fill to any cell in the "Current Stock" column where value ≤ Reorder Level.
Trend Indicators: Green arrow up/down next to transaction quantities (e.g., if >0 → ↑, if <0 → ↓).
Category Coloring: Apply color scales per category in the Inventory Master table for visual categorization.
Daily Transaction Type Color Coding: Different colors for Purchase (green), Sale (red), Adjustment (yellow).

User Instructions
