Formulas Required

To enable smart strategy planning and automation, the following formulas are used across the sheets:

Status (Auto) Column Formula: =IF(OR([@ExpirationDate]


    Reorder Alert Flag (in Stock Levels & Alerts sheet):  
        =IF([@[Status]]="Low Stock", "YES - Reorder Needed", "")
    
    Average Monthly Usage (in Monthly Usage Trends):  
        =AVERAGEIFS(UsageTable[Units Used], UsageTable[Product Name], [@Product])  
        (Used to forecast future needs.)
    
    Total Inventory Value:  
        =SUMPRODUCT(InventoryTracker[Current Quantity], InventoryTracker[Cost per Unit])



Conditional Formatting Rules

To support strategic oversight, the template includes dynamic visual cues:

    Low Stock: Red fill with white text for items where current quantity ≤ reorder threshold.
    Expired Items: Bright red background with bold text and a warning icon.
    High-Value Inventory: Yellow highlight for products costing over $10 per unit (for budget prioritization).
    Trending Usage Patterns: Color scales on the "Monthly Usage Trends" sheet to visualize rising or falling consumption.

    Open the file and enable macros if prompted (for auto-updating features).
