    Trying to Write a formula to calculate available inventory

    Need help to write a formula in cell K9 to add the highest value without causing errors.

    We have a current QTY of 30 cases on the floor. We have replenishment orders that will add additional inventory, but have also reserved product for future orders. We can still add an order, but for how much? I figured this is 20, but need a formula to determine easily.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thanks
    Adam

    Maybe this:

    =SUMIF($2:$2,"Replenish",$9:$9)+SUMIF($6:$6,"Current",$9:$9)-SUMIF($2:$2,"Reserved",$9:$9)

    Thank you, Sir!

    So.. it seems this didn't quite work as we'd hoped... once I removed a future reserve, an error popped up.

    Still trying to work this one out! If you have any additional thoughts, they'd be more than welcomed!

    Best,
    Adam

    Maybe this in L9:

    =E9-SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(F6:K6))*F9:K9)

    Re: Trying to Write a formula to calculate available inventory

    Unfortunately cant change any of the formulas in the row..

    L9 calculates the inventory at a future date. So if we have a new order, we'd only be able book 20 (in K9) without triggering errors (causing future inventory to be <0)

    Going out for dinner now. How can I get it to work, without changing formulae.... either current or new??

    Re: Trying to Write a formula to calculate available inventory

    Is there some sort of formula that works similarly to a what-if? Meaning, something that can hit a MAX number without causing "ERROR" in a row?

    Re: Trying to Write a formula to calculate available inventory

    Just saw your note. I just asked a coworker to take a look as well.. It's not an easy one.

    Bc of the way this all works, the only cell that can be altered (besides the hard-coded) is K9... total pain!

    I think my report is going to have to be more complicated than originally anticipated.. Such is life. Can't thank you enough, Glenn.

    Re: Trying to Write a formula to calculate available inventory

    Finally figured it out..

    See attached FYI.

    Simple as a MIN formula.. Just needed to rack my brain a bit.

    Thank you VERY MUCH!
