Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy

    =VLOOKUP(OrderID, RiskMatrix!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Pulls risk category from a secondary matrix when needed.
    =IF(OR(RiskLevel="High", RiskLevel="Critical"), "Escalate to Manager", "Monitor") – Generates action recommendations based on severity.
    =NETWORKDAYS(DateCreated, DueDate) – Calculates working days between creation and due date for risk exposure assessment.
