Hello,

I'm doing the inventory for a coc ktail bar, and we work with many recipes for drinks, of course, and I would like to create a system that gives me a better view of how much we sold, how much we have and what I need to order making life a bit easier.

The main Idea for inventory control is to do a weekly count to get a Starting Value, then add everything that you receive that week, and at the end of the week count again to have your ending value.
Start + received - End = Usage (amount used that week). this data I want to compare it to our sales of the POS system.
This is where the tricky part (for me) comes in.

I've created 3 sheets, Summary - Sales - Received - Data

in the Data sheet i've made list of all the products in the bar, and another table of the ****tail recipes
Product nameCategoryVolumePriceSupplier
Bombay SapphireGin750ml$15Europea
Cinzano RossoVermouth750ml$13Europea
CampariAmari750ml$13Europea

Coc ktail NameVol.1Ingr.1Vol.2Ingr.2Vol.3Ingr.3
Negroni30mlBombay Sapphire30mlCinzano Rosso30mlCampari

'Received' just holds the product name, category and amount
Sales holds the amount of times the product is sold but here also comes the ****tails in to play.

So lets say we sell 3 Negroni this week. I want that the amount of spirit used in the recipe multiplied by the number of times sold and added up in the 'total' column in Summary sheet of the used spirit (90ml bombay ,90ml cinzano and 90ml campari).

Now doing this for 1 drink is not the problem, the problem is that I have multiple recipes using the same products.
Martini with Gin for example (70ml Bombay - 10ml Noilly Prat)

How do I gather all the correct information and put it in their designated cell...

Hope my explanation is clear enough ;)

Excel Facts

Excel Joke
Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
I have a suggestion. Let's make all the tables official Excel Table, which will allow us to do things more easily.

Also, let's make the recipe table a vertical table. Having the ingredients splayed out to the right is inconvenient for looking up data. Would this be acceptable for the ingredients table? Notice that it actually can be sorted in any way and we will still be able to get our lookups done.

[Why the heck is this Forum's profanity filter censoring this word, ****tail? I Frenchy-fied it to accommodate the situation.]

Yeah horizontal or Vertical doesn't make a difference for the Recipe, as long as it gets the job done :P. but how do we proceed from here

I created a simple setup here. There are three tables. I hope you know how Excel Table nomenclature works.

When you paste from here into Excel, I think to will have to use the operation Insert | Tables and then name each. Here, one is named Ingredients, the next Sales and the last Products. The formula in the SalesVolume column of Products (starting in cell K4) calculates how much was consumed by the sales of those coquetels with those ingredient volumes.

You're welcome. As your project proceeds, don't struggle - come back and ask more questions. And don't drink all that booze. There - I saved you another headache!

This can probably be done in a more efficient way than formulas by using Power Query or Power Pivot. If your data-set is huge, using their Data Model that would be a better way to go. Let us know - there are thousands of terrific videos about it all on youtube that I can direct you to.

The most valuable use of youtube (aside from drunken music video sessions) is education. The best I've encountered are MrExcel and ExcelIsFun., This one is helpful too from Gharani. Subscribe to those excellent resources to get a daily dose of Excel.

There are many playlists inside ExcelIsFun that you can search through. You can even download the exemplar files. I found this one all about PQ for you. But watch others, too. Stuck at home while trembling in fear of the plague, we can be learning things, which is the best use of our time I think.

Great! Yeah, this was exactly my thinking, better use the time for something usefull. I've got to know excel decently over the last few years but I know a lot of the things I do can be so much easier. I will have a look at those links, thank you very much
