- **Low Inventory:** Red fill with white text for rows where status flag = "Low". - **High Growth Products:** Green highlight for products in top 20% of growth rate. - **Overstock Alert:** Orange background if Quantity On Hand exceeds 150% of projected demand. - **Team Contributor Highlight:** Light blue tint for cells modified by the user’s team member name (dynamic based on "Last Updated By").Instructions for Users
