Common Problems
- 1Formula shows #VALUE!: Check that all price cells contain numbers, not text.
- 2Status colors are not working: Make sure your Status cell exactly matches the rule text (case-sensitive).
- 3Sheet feels slow: Delete old rows instead of hiding them. Hidden rows still calculate.
- 4Cannot find an old item: Use Ctrl+F to search by name, seller, or any keyword in your Notes.
