Formulas and Calculations

• Demand Forecast Formula: `=FORECAST.LINEAR(Week, SalesHistory, Weeks)` – predicts future demand based on historical trends.
• Reorder Point Calculation: `= (Average Daily Demand × Lead Time) + Safety Stock` – automated to alert when stock falls below threshold.
• Campaign Impact Analysis: `=SUMIFS(SalesData, CampaignID, "C001") / TotalSales` – calculates the contribution of specific campaigns to overall revenue.
• Stock Turnover Ratio: `= Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory Value` – tracks inventory efficiency.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Low Stock Alerts: Red background for inventory levels below reorder point (e.g., "<=Reorder Point").
• Campaign Status: Green for "On Track", Yellow for "Delayed", and Red for "Cancelled" in the Campaign Tracker.
• Forecast Accuracy: Color scale from red (low accuracy) to green (high accuracy) based on variance between forecast and actual sales.
