Cosmetics Shop Stock Data Entry System in Excel is a macro-enabled workbook for adding, updating, deleting, and reviewing cosmetics stock records from one structured screen. The sample file demonstrates 6 products with brand, category, quantity, unit price, restock date, and status and four live summary cards: Total Products, Total Stock Value, Low Stock Items, and Out of Stock Items. Enter values in the form, click Add, and the system creates a unique Record ID and timestamp. This is a one-time downloadable Excel tool rather than a subscription. It supports operational record entry; users remain responsible for validating stock, sales, pricing, and accounting information against approved source records.

What’s Inside This Excel Data Entry System
Data Entry Sheet
The main sheet combines the entry form, action buttons, KPI cards, and record table. Add saves a completed form, Update changes the loaded record, Delete asks for confirmation, and Reset clears the form. Double-click a record to load it without having to reselect the row after editing.
Settings Sheet
The Settings sheet stores the lists used by dropdown fields and the source cells for the summary cards. Editing those lists changes the available choices throughout the workbook.
How-to-Use Sheet
The instructions explain record entry, updates, deletion, summary cards, dropdown maintenance, and macro security. The workbook must be opened in Microsoft Excel for Windows desktop with macros enabled from a trusted source.
