Stock rotation is the number of days until the inventory stock is depleted. To calculate stock rotation, first divide the average inventory value by the total sales for the same time period. Then multiply this ratio by the number of days in the time period.

In this worksheet, Turnover Days is the Y variable, and Sales Promotions is the X variable.
