Highlight products with low stock or high margin.
Entering prices manually for 1,000 products invites errors. If you have the Costo and the Margen, let Excel do the math.
| A | B | C | D | E | F | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Código | Categoría | Producto | Marca | Precio Compra | Precio Venta | lista de productos de ferreteria y sus precios en excel
In Column G (Precio Venta), enter this formula (assuming Cost is in Column E, and Margin is in Column F as a decimal):
=E2/(1-F2)
Example: Cost is $1.20, Margin is 50% (0.5). Excel calculates =1.20/(1-0.5) = $2.40. Wait, above we had $1.80! That’s a common mistake. This formula calculates markup on selling price. If you want a 50% margin on the sale, the price doubles. If you want a simple 50% markup on cost, use =E2*(1+F2).
Best practice for hardware: Use the "Markup" method for fast-moving goods. Highlight products with low stock or high margin

You have 1,000 products. You only want to see "Painting" products on a specific price sheet for a big contractor client. Entering prices manually for 1,000 products invites errors
