Inventory Tracking

Matt_Tix

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet to track inventory for my business. It's very simple but for some reason, i'm having difficulty with the nested IF's.

For example:

the top of the sheet will list total inventory of wines;

Merlot

Pinot

Chardonnay

The user will select a type of wine, enter the quantity taken, and based on the selection and quantity, subtract the quantity from the total wine at the top.

Thanks for helping!

Hi Matt,

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too,[email protected])

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

You will need to have a beginning total. I'll just say 100 for this example. We will call the column that the wines are listed in [Wine Column]. The running total will be in a column called [Running Total] (also the column where the formula would go), and the user selection quantity will be listed in the [Bottle Count] column.

=100 - SUMIFS([Bottle Count]:[Bottle Count], [Wine Column]:[Wine Column], [Wine Column]@row)

This will add up all of the counts for whatever type of wine is in the row of the formula and then subtract it from the beginning total.
