• =SUMIFS(Usage!B:B, Usage!A:A, A2) – Aggregates usage per item from the tracking sheet.
• =VLOOKUP(Item_ID, Supply_Master!A:D, 3, FALSE) – Cross-sheet data lookup to get category or unit info.
• =SUMPRODUCT(Usage!C:C * (Usage!A:A >= Date_Start)) – Predictive usage over time.

• Red highlight when stock is below reorder point (in Supply Master).
