=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Low Stock", IF([@Current Stock Level] = 0, "Out of Stock", "In Stock")) - Days Until Reorder:
=IF(AND([@Current Stock Level]>0, [@Reorder Point]>[@Current Stock Level]), ROUND(([@Reorder Point] - [@Current Stock Level]) / [@Avg. Daily Sales Volume], 0), "N/A") - Lead Time Buffer Check: In the Inventory Dashboard:
=IF([@Days Until Reorder] > [@Lead Time (Days)], "Urgent - Order Now", "On Track") - Marketing Spend vs. Sales Correlation: Used in Campaign Performance Summary to calculate ROI:
=SUMIFS(SalesData!E:E, SalesData!A:A, [@[Campaign ID]]) / [@[Budget Allocated ($)]]
