=IF(CurrentStockLevel > 0, CurrentStockLevel * UnitCost, 0) - LOW STOCK ALERT (Inventory Sheet):
=IF(CurrentStockLevel <= ReorderPoint, "REORDER", "") - EMPLOYEE COUNT BY DEPARTMENT (Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS(Employees!$D:$D, "Operations")

To enhance data visibility and alertness, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

- Terminated Employees: Light gray background for employees with Status = "Terminated".
