Conditional formatting formula triggers alerts when expiration is within 14 days:

=IF([@Next Review Due] - Count of Non-Compliant Items (Dashboard):
=COUNTIF('Inventory Master List'!$G:$G, "Non-Compliant")

To enhance visibility and prioritize action items:- Items Expiring in 14 Days: Background color = Orange if expiration date ≤ Today + 14.
- Overdue Audits: Text color = Red, bold font when "Next Audit Due" is earlier than today.
- Non-Compliant Items: Cell background = Dark red, with white text to highlight urgency.
