    Great tool, one question though, how to apply this on multiple SKUs, like 150 SKUs or products, the formulas are pretty locked to this range and must be changed one by one if applying on an array of SKUs!

      Hey, I gave a try and couldn't make it that elastic because I'm lacking an extra dimension on the sheet to pack cumulative sales per item and week into one cell. What you can do though is to choose how many weeks before your stock ends you want to be notified. I'm sending you a link to such spreadsheet which is set for 5 weeks but you can obviously change that - this value is stored in 'Cumulative Sales X weeks' BC1 cell. The same logic if you wish to work on quantity instead of value.

    Slawomir - this was an incredibly helpful video, both as it allowed for me to solve a current business problem and because through the video I've learned how to apply array formulas and the offset formula. Well done, friend, and thank you!

    GREAT VIDEO.
    I have a question. What happens when the Inventory doesn't even reach the first month and the forward cover is "0".
    I tried it and the formula gives me #REF

    Great tool Slawomir. I have just one question: If you have no sales in a few weeks ahead, and your stock reaches 0 in the meantime, the formula will count the weeks with no sales as 1 until sales happen again. Basically saying that your stock coverage is highe than the reality. Is there a way to overcome this in the formula?

      As I'm looking into this over 3 years from recording this video I see it crashes when sales next week are greater than closing stock. This is just a basic concept that I wanted to make comprehensive as for the video because actually figuring this out took me months back then. We should build these formulas up with conditionals: IFs, IFERRORs to make them behave the right way in exceptions. I'm really happy that you found these bugs and invite you to craft the tool for your needs!

      Unfortunately not. I am sure you'll find good guides elsewhere. Basically look at past data and overall trends but this subject deserves a longer speech! Thanks for the feedback!
