Sell-Through & Open-to-Buy Template
Sell-through, weeks cover, and an open-to-buy that stops over-committing.
Sell-Through & Open-to-Buy Template is a free Excel workbook: 5 sheets, 117 live formulas and realistic sample data throughout, 16 KB as .xlsx.
The formulas are printed on this page, unedited, so you can check the method before downloading anything. Swap in your own numbers and the whole file recalculates — which is the part no chat window can hand you. Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice; no add-in and no macro.
A look inside
This is a real slice of the Lines sheet from the actual file — not a screenshot, and not a mock-up. Cells shown in violet are live formulas, exactly as they arrive.
