• =IF(C6 < B6*0.5, "Low", IF(C6 < B6*0.2, "Critical", "Normal")): Evaluates stock levels against threshold (e.g., 50% or 20% of reorder level).
• =SUMPRODUCT((Product!Category="Electronics") * Product!SalesPrice): Totals revenue by category for profitability analysis.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, InventoryMaster!A:A, 3, FALSE): Dynamically retrieves product category from inventory master.
