  =IF(E2>0, D2 / (TODAY()-H2), 0) – Calculates ADU over a defined period.
• Days to Reorder:
  =IF(G3>0, (G3 - C3) / E2, "N/A") – Estimates days until next reorder.
• Stock Turnover Rate:
  =IF(E2>0, (C2 / E2), 0) – Measures how frequently stock is used.
• Total Stock Value:
  =C3 * F3 – Multiplies quantity with unit cost (to be added in future versions).
