    To make labels for your items, you'll need to either contact a 3rd-party labeling company or make your labels in-house. A 3rd-party labeling company is a good option if you have medium to high product volume and require professional labels. Making the labels manually is good for low volume production.

    You can use the IF function in a new column to see when you need to reorder products. For example, IF([quantity] < [stock limit], "reorder", "don't reorder yet").

    Why should I format my text to wrap in Excel?
    Community Answer
    By formatting text to wrap on your headers, Excel will automatically extend the text into the cell below if you have a title that does not fit in the box. This allows you to create headers with longer titles without having to widen your columns, which can get disorganized if they grow too wide.
