Compare stock levels across product groups, locations, warehouses or other categorical fields.
Turn inventory spreadsheets into a clearer view of stock and movement.
Analyse Excel or CSV inventory data to understand stock levels, categories, locations, movement, unusual values and period-to-period change without manually building every chart.
WHAT YOU CAN ANSWER
Move from spreadsheet rows to useful business questions.
Inventory files can become difficult to review when they contain thousands of SKUs, locations and movement records. Data Studio helps profile the structure, surface concentration and compare relevant measures.
Use rankings and distributions to identify unusually high, low or concentrated numeric values.
When time fields are available, inspect movement over time and compare recurring monthly files.
Check missing values, duplicates, inconsistent categories and outliers before using the dataset for decisions.
EXAMPLE DATA
Use the Excel or CSV files you already have.
Data Studio works from structured tabular data. A typical file for this workflow might contain fields such as:
✓ SKU / item code✓ Product category✓ Warehouse / location✓ Quantity on hand✓ Movement / usage✓ Date / month
WORKFLOW
From upload to decision-ready output.
Use the same underlying data across profiling, visual analysis and reporting rather than rebuilding the analysis in separate tools.
Detect numeric measures, category fields, dates and quality issues across the uploaded data.
Use rankings, distributions and category breakdowns to understand where values are concentrated.
Use Compare Datasets or Monthly Intelligence when you have recurring inventory snapshots.
Generate a concise report with KPIs, visuals, findings and quality context.
OUTPUTS
What Data Studio can produce.
The exact output adapts to the fields available in your dataset, so the workspace prioritises useful analysis instead of forcing empty charts.
✓ Stock and quantity KPIs✓ Top / bottom categories✓ Location or warehouse breakdown✓ Movement trend when available✓ Monthly comparison✓ Inventory analysis report

Common questions
Can I analyse an inventory Excel file online?
Yes. Upload a structured Excel or CSV inventory file. Data Studio uses the available fields to build an appropriate analysis rather than requiring a fixed template.
Can I compare this month with last month?
Yes. Compare Datasets can compare two compatible file versions, while Monthly Intelligence is designed for recurring period-based analysis.
Does it change my inventory data automatically?
The analysis workflow does not require automatic changes. Use Clean My Data when you specifically want to review and apply cleaning actions.
