In Stock Status Alert: In Inventory Master: =IF([@Quantity In Stock] <= [@Reorder Level], "REORDER NOW!", "OK")
Subtotal & Total: In Sales & Orders: =[@Quantity Sold] * [@Unit Price] and =[@Subtotal] * (1 + [@Tax Rate])
Cross-Reference from Client Database: Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to pull client names into Sales & Orders.
Total Revenue by Month: Use SUMIFS with date ranges to calculate monthly sales totals.

Conditional Formatting

Apply visual cues for quick insights:

Inventory Warning: Highlight cells in "Quantity In Stock" red if below Reorder Level.
Pending Payments: Use orange background for any order where Payment Status is "Pending".
Last Interaction Date: Apply yellow highlight to clients who haven't been contacted in over 60 days.
Sales Growth Trend: Use data bars to show relative sales amounts across months.
