FORMULAS REQUIRED

Key formulas used throughout the template include:

• =IF(F3<G3, "Low Stock", IF(F3=0, "Out of Stock", "Available")) – Automatically updates stock status based on threshold.
• =TODAY()-H3 – Calculates days since last restock (used in alerting).
• =SUMIFS(F:F, I:I, "Low Stock") – Counts products below minimum threshold.
• =COUNTIF(C:C,"Electronics") – Tracks total electronics inventory count.
• =VLOOKUP(A2,'Project Assignments'!A:D,3,FALSE) – Links product to assigned project and team member.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical data:

• Red font for “Out of Stock” status: Immediate visual alert.
• Yellow background if stock is below reorder point: Indicates urgent need for restocking.
• Green highlight when stock exceeds 80% of minimum threshold: Indicates healthy inventory levels.
• Data bars on “Current Stock Level” column: Visualizes relative stock compared to thresholds.
• Color scales on “Days Since Last Restock” field: Shows restocking urgency (red = over 30 days).
