=IF([@Quantity] <= [@Threshold], "Low", IF([@Quantity] <= [@Threshold]*1.5, "Medium", "High")) - Reorder Alert Flag:
=IF([@Stock] <= [@Min_Threshold], "Yes", "") - Active Assignments Count:
=COUNTIFS(ClientAssignments[Status], "Active", ClientAssignments[Client Name], [@[Client Name]]) - Last Update Time (Dynamic):
=TEXT(NOW(), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm")in a separate cell for audit trails.
Conditional Formatting Rules (for Client View)
- Stock Level: Red text for items below minimum threshold; yellow for near threshold; green otherwise.
- Status Column: Color-coded: Green = Active, Orange = Under Maintenance, Gray = Returned.
- Dates in Usage Log: Highlight overdue return dates in red (if today > due date).
