Implementation Notes for Excel

  1. Total Value Formula: In the 'Total Value' column, use =E2*G2 (assuming Unit Cost is E and Current Stock is G).
  2. Status Conditional Formatting:
    • Apply "Highlight Cell Rules" for text containing Low Stock (Yellow Fill).
    • Apply "Highlight Cell Rules" for text containing Out of Stock (Red Fill).
  3. Reorder Alert: Use conditional formatting on the 'Current Stock' column: =G2<=F2 (If current stock is less than or equal to reorder level, turn cell red).
  4. Data Validation: Use the 'Data' > 'Data Validation' feature for the 'Category' column to create a dropdown list for consistency.
