Carry out this task

  2. Keep batch-specific rows rather than replacing the older date.
  3. Choose Calculate & Save and compare the displayed result with the worked calculation.

Calculation and observed tool result

Contents rows sum to 9 items; earliest listed expiry 2027-02-01. Check each row, unit and packaging. Inventory checklist only; not medical guidance.

Recorded quantity: 9 items.

What the result means

Nine packs are counted and the earlier batch date stays visible.

A mistake to avoid

A newer delivery does not renew the expiry of existing packages.
