Formulas Required
The template leverages several advanced Excel functions to automate calculations and ensure data integrity:
- Auto-incrementing Transaction ID (Data Entry):
=IF(A2="", MAX(Data_Entry[Transaction ID])+1, A2) - Current Quantity (Inventory Summary):
=SUMIFS(Data_Entry!H:H, Data_Entry!C:C, A2) - Average Unit Cost:
=AVERAGEIF(Data_Entry!C:C, A2, Data_Entry!I:I) - Status Logic: Uses nested IF with COUNTIFS to flag stock levels.
- Dynamic Date Ranges (Stock Movement): SUMIFS with dynamic date parameters for trend analysis.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and support quick decision-making:
- Low Stock Alert: If quantity < 10, highlight cell in yellow. Threshold can be customized.
- Out of Stock: If quantity = 0, color cell red.
- Status Column (Inventory Summary): Color code: Green for "In Stock", Yellow for "Reserved", Red for "Damaged".
- KPI Gauges (Dashboard): Use data bars and icon sets to show performance trends.
- Date-Based Highlighting: Highlight transactions older than 30 days in gray.
