## Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Microsoft Dynamics 365 data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

UK apparel: dead stock crossed £25K threshold three months ago, has grown to £284K. Each month over threshold drives the alert again until reduced.
