FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template includes several built-in formulas to automate calculations and provide real-time insights:

• =IF(Stock Quantity < Reorder Level, "REORDER NOW", ""): Flags products needing restocking.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

The template uses conditional formatting to visually highlight key performance indicators:

• Red Fill (Critical Stock): When stock quantity is below reorder level, background turns red.
• Yellow Fill (Low Stock): When stock is between 10% and 50% of reorder level.
• Green Highlight: If profit margin (>30%) or sales growth (+10%) is recorded in the dashboard.
• Color Scale for Stock Levels: Applies a gradient from green (high stock) to red (critical).
