Formulas Required
The template leverages Excel formulas to automate tracking and alerting:
- Status Column (Supply Inventory):
=IF(E2<=F2, "Low Stock", IF(E2=0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Reorder Alert Check:
=IF(E2<=F2, "Reorder Now", "")(used in Reorder Alerts sheet) - Total Supplies Count:
=COUNTA(Supply_Inventory!B:B)-1(excludes header) - Low Stock Count:
=COUNTIF(Supply_Inventory!G:G, "Low Stock") - Duplicate Item Checker (Optional):
=IF(COUNTIF(B:B,B2)>1, "Duplicate", "")
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and usability:
- Low Stock Items: Highlight rows with red fill if status is "Low Stock".
- Out of Stock Items: Apply bright red font and bold text.
- Reorder Alert Column: Use yellow background for "Reorder Now" entries.
- Category Tracker: Color scale based on average quantity to visualize inventory balance.
