    Question Creating a basic stock inventory sheet

    Hi All,

    I am very much a novice on excel so please bear with me!
    I am trying to create a very basic spreadsheet that I can use to keep track of stock items. What I want to do is to be able to update a particular stocks total when either stock is added or stock is taken. I am not very familiar with formulas, but what I want is when I add or remove stock the total updates accordingly, then if I need to update the same stock again, I can do so with the newly updated total now being the source that is updated - I hope that this makes sense?

    Hope someone can help.

    Best regards

    Ford,

    Many thanks for your quick response - very much appreciated.
    If I do not want to have additional lines each time stock is updated can that be achieved?

    For example, if I only have 5 Stock Items;

    Stock A
    Stock B
    Stock C
    Stock D
    Stock E

    Each time Stock A is updated instead of creating a new entry can the first/original entry for Stock A only be updated?

    Best Regards

    Not without VBA. A cell can contain either a value or a formula, not both. Besides, if you keep track of your stock the way I showed, you could maybe do analysis on which 1 sells more, which to focus on, etc

    update your new item details in master sheet, enter your receiving & delivery in data sheet then refresh your sheet to update pivottable.

    thanks
