=IF([@Current Stock] <= [@Reorder Level], "Low Stock", "Normal") – Flags low-stock items in Reorder Tracker.
=SUMPRODUCT((Inventory_Master!$G:$G="Active")*(Inventory_Master!$D:$D)) – Totals value of active inventory items.
=COUNTIFS(Reorder_Tracker!C:C, "Low Stock") – Counts total low-stock items for dashboard alerting.
=IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS(Daily_Transactions!$E:$E, Daily_Transactions!$C:$C, A2), 0) – Calculates average daily movement (for forecasting).
