Formulas Required for Automation and Intelligence

Automated Item ID Generation: =IF(A2="", "ITEM-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000"), A2) – Auto-generates unique identifiers in the Inventory Tracker.
Stock Alert Logic: =IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "REORDER REQUIRED", "OK") – Highlights items needing restocking.
Days Until Reorder: =IF([@Reorder Point]=0, "", IF([@Current Stock Level]=0, "Out of Stock", ROUND(([@Reorder Point]-[@Current Stock Level])/[@Avg Daily Usage], 1)))
Task Status Tracker: Uses =IF([@Due Date] < TODAY(), IF([@Status]="Completed", "On Time", "Overdue"), IF(@Status="Completed", "Completed Early", "Pending")).
Dashboards KPIs: Formulas like =COUNTIF(InventoryTracker[Status], "REORDER REQUIRED") or =SUMIFS(InventoryTracker[Current Stock Level], InventoryTracker[CATEGORY], "Raw Materials") power dashboard metrics.
