Is there a way to implement the Newsvendor algorithm in DOMO?

A client has requested a report which shows a forecast of sales vs inventory for a given time period.
What they're going after is Inventory Optimization. This is usually done using the Newsvendor Model
Does anyone know how this can be implemented in BeastMode? 

Thanks in advance.

  • I haven't found a solution to this just yet. Thanks for getting back to me. I'd also like to ask, is there a way to implement the Excel's NORMINV function in BeastMode?

    Only a select number of mathematical functions are currently supported in Domo, for quick reference they are listed here:

    As for implementing the Newsvendor Model or similar inventory metrics via a card, you could enter the calculation 'longhand' and utilize the same logic.

    Thanks!
