Using a formula to subtract 1 box out of "box inventory" when I record a sale in "Sales"
Hello,
We have a basic retail business selling iPhones and what I would like to do is create some type of formula so when I enter a sale into my Sales Sheet it will link to my Box Inventory Sheet AND it will subtract the correct box out of the inventory based off of its Model and Color.
I'm not any good with creating formulas. Can someone please help with some detailed advice and please use Layman's Terms haha!
Essentially what I want to do is something like an IF THEN formula....
For Instance...IF we sell an "iPhone 7 Plus - Rose" THEN "iPhone 7 Rose" on my Box Inventory Sheet will subtract by 1.
the first picture is an example of our sales page with the model of the phone and the color that will match the box that we ship out. I want my Box Inventory (2nd Photo) to automatically subtract by 1 each time we post a sale
Thank you!

Consider adding another column to track how many are outstanding, and then another for net inventory:
Inventory Encumbered Net Inventory
5 3 2
Net inventory row 1 is the formula =[Inventory]1 - [Encumbered]1

Instead of applying the formula to \"Multiselect Text String\" row, did you tried with \"Multiselect Values\" row?<\/p>
=IF(HAS([Multiselect Values]@row, [Component ID]@row), \"MATCH\", \"NO MATCH\")<\/p>
Thank you,<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":109493,"type":"question","name":"I am having trouble using \"And\", \"OR\" & \"Countif(s)\" to build a formula.","excerpt":"Hello, I am attempting to come up with a sheet summary formula that counts cells if they meet at least one of 3 different statuses in the same column, AND also meet one of 5 different statuses in a separate column.

Hi, <\/p>
Add a \"Created By\" column in your sheet and turn on \"Required smartsheet login to access your form\" in your form setting. So that whoever fills out the form, their email id will be automatically captured in \"created by\" column. This will replace your \"Requestor Name\" column. <\/p>
Thank you!<\/p>
