=SQRT((2*Annual Demand*Order Cost)/Holding Cost per Unit)
Dynamic KPIs using SUMIFS and COUNTIFS: For filtering by category, location, or date range.

CUSTOM CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

Enhanced visual feedback ensures rapid identification of critical status points:

Low Stock Items: Red fill with white text for “Current Stock Level” below threshold.
Expired/Obsolete Items: Dark gray background, italic text.
