Formulas Required

The template incorporates several essential Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:

• COUNTIF(): To count active employees per department monthly.

• AVERAGEIFS(): For calculating average attendance or performance ratings per team.
• DATEDIF(): To calculate tenure in months from hire date to current month.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual tracking and data recognition, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Stock Levels: Red fill if Quantity ≤ Reorder Point; yellow if between 10%–50% of safety stock.
• Attendance: Green for ≥25 days (ideal), red for ≤18 days (needs follow-up).
• Overtime Hours: Highlight in orange if >10 hours/month to flag potential burnout.
