=IF(Quantity=0, 0, Quantity * Unit_Price) - Forecast Month:
=TEXT(Target_Delivery_Date,"MMM YYYY")(Formats to month-year for reporting). - Forecast Risk Level:
=IF(OR(Status="New",Status="In Review"), "High", IF(AND(Status="Approved", Target_Delivery_Date-TODAY()>30), "Medium", IF(AND(Status="Confirmed", Target_Delivery_Date-TODAY()<=30), "Low","Unknown"))) - Monthly Forecast Total: In the Forecast Summary sheet, use:
=SUMIF('Orders Tracker'!$J:$J, "January 2024", 'Orders Tracker'!$F:$F) - Status Count (per category): Use COUNTIF across the Status column to generate totals by stage.

Target_Delivery_Date < TODAY(). - Risk Levels:
