Ssheet Names

Table Structures and Data Types

The core structure of the template revolves around the Stock Inventory sheet, which features a tabular layout with the following columns:

All data fields are clearly defined and use standardized data types:

• Item Name: Text (string), required.
• Category: Dropdown list (e.g., Household, Health & Wellness, Kitchen Supplies).
• Current Stock: Integer (number of units).
• Reorder Level: Integer – triggers alerts when stock drops below this.
• Last Restocked Date: Date type (formatted as MM/DD/YYYY).
• Expiry Date: Optional date field for perishables.
• Purchase Price & Unit Cost: Currency (USD) – used for cost tracking and budgeting.
• Status: Text dropdown (e.g., In Stock, Low Stock, Expired).

Formulas Required

The template leverages built-in Excel formulas to automate key operations:

• Stock Status Detection: Uses the formula `=IF(C2<D2,"Low Stock","In Stock")` in the "Status" column to dynamically update stock levels.
• Days Until Expiry: In a separate column, calculates `=IF(E2="","",DATEDIF(E2,TODAY(),"d"))` to show days until expiry for perishable items.
• Total Cost of Inventory: Uses `=SUMPRODUCT(F2:F100*G2:G100)` to calculate total value of all stock.
• Missing Items Alert: `=IF(ISBLANK(B2),"Add Item","")` flags blank categories for review.
• Monthly Stock Usage: In the Monthly Report sheet, uses `=SUMIFS()` to calculate consumption per category over a selected period.

Conditional Formatting

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to improve visibility:

• Low Stock Highlighting: When stock falls below reorder level, the row turns yellow with bold text.
• Expiry Warnings: Items nearing expiry (within 30 days) are marked in red.
• Status Indicator Colors:
  • Green = In Stock
  • Yellow = Low Stock
  • Red = Expired or Near Expiry
• Purchase Price Highlighting: High-cost items (above $10) are shaded in orange to flag for budget review.
