- Rows representing calendar dates.

Formulas Required
The template leverages dynamic Excel formulas for automation and accuracy:- Pricing Margin (%) = (Selling Price – Base Price) / Base Price * 100: Automatically calculated in the Product Inventory sheet.
- Stock Status Check: Uses
=IF(Stock/Units Available <= 5, "Low", IF(Stock/Units Available = 0, "Sold Out", "Available")). - Dates in Booking Calendar: Dynamic linking via VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH functions to pull inventory data.
- Inventory Reorder Alert: Conditional logic triggers a warning when stock drops below 10 units.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses conditional formatting extensively for visual clarity:
- Status Column: Red for "Sold Out", Yellow for "Limited Stock", Green for "Active".
- Stock/Units Available: Color scales from red (0) to green (high stock).
- Dates in Booking Calendar: Cells change color based on availability status.
- Pricing Margin: Highlight margins below 15% in orange to flag low profitability.
