Conditional Formatting Rules
- Low Stock: Highlight cells in "Total Stock Qty" where value < Reorder Point in red (e.g., #ffcccc).
- Critical Stock: If stock is zero or negative, use bright red fill.
- Status Column: Color code based on values: Red = "Order Now", Yellow = "Monitor", Green = "In Stock".
- Dashboard Trends: Use data bars in charts to visualize stock volume and movement patterns.
User Instructions for Usage
