Formulas Required
This template leverages dynamic Excel formulas to automate data integrity and strategic insights:
- Status Indicator:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Minimum Reorder Threshold], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Reorder Alert:
=IF(AND([@Status]="Low Stock", [@Last Reorder Date]=""), "Reorder Required!", "") - Days Until Reorder:
=IF([@Status] <> "In Stock", [@[Lead Time (Days)]], 0)— used in the forecast sheet. - Stock Value:
=[@[Current Stock Level]] * [@Unit Cost] - Strategic Alignment Score: (Calculated on Strategy Planning Board) = SUMIFS of strategic priorities weighted by project importance.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses color-coded conditional formatting to enhance visual decision-making:
- Red: Items with “Out of Stock” or “Critical” status — immediate action required.
- Yellow: “Low Stock” items — monitor closely, prepare reorder.
- Green: Items with sufficient stock and "In Stock" status.
- Blue Highlight: High-priority strategic items (Strategic Priority = High).
