Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of dynamic Excel formulas to ensure real-time accuracy and automation:

• Stock Balance = Current Stock Quantity (Inventory sheet)
• Stock on Hand = SUMIF(Transactions, Item ID, Quantity) with appropriate sign logic for purchases vs. sales
• Reorder Alert Formula: =IF(CURRENT_STOCK < REORDER_LEVEL, "REORDER REQUIRED", "IN STOCK") – triggers in Reorder Alerts sheet
• Inventory Value = Stock Quantity × Cost Price
• Profit Margin % = (Selling Price - Cost Price) / Selling Price
• Monthly Usage Average: AVERAGEIFS(Transactions, Date, ">=Start Month", Date, "<=End Month")
• Auto-Generated Transaction IDs: =CONCATENATE("T", TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), "0000"), ROW(A1))
• Task Completion Status: Uses IF statements to change color based on due date (conditional formatting)

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to highlight critical data:

• In the Stock Inventory sheet: Cells where "Current Stock Quantity" is below "Reorder Level" are highlighted in red with a warning icon.
• Items with expiry dates within 30 days of today are marked in orange.
• In the To-Do List, tasks due within 3 days are highlighted in yellow; overdue tasks appear in red.
• Cells containing zero stock or negative quantities use a bold red font and background color.
• High-priority tasks show gradient highlights (blue to red) based on urgency level.
