=IF(COUNTIF($C$2:$C$100, "Utilities")=0, 0, SUMIF($C$2:$C$100, "Utilities", $D$2:$D$100)) – Calculates total spending per category.=IF(AND([@DueDate] <= TODAY(), [@Status]="Due"), "Overdue", IF(@Status="Completed", "Completed", "Due")) – Auto-updates maintenance status.=IF([@CurrentStock] <= [@ReorderThreshold], "Low", IF([@CurrentStock] < (@ReorderThreshold * 0.5), "Critical", "Normal")) – Dynamically flags inventory levels.=SUMIF(E:E, "Income", D:D) - SUMIF(E:E, "Expense", D:D) – Calculates net monthly income after expenses (used in Dashboard).
