Table Structures & Columns (Daily Orders Log)

The main data table is structured in the "Daily Orders Log" sheet with a fixed format optimized for daily input. Each row represents one order.

Formulas Required

• Total Amount (£): =IF(Quantity<>"", Quantity * Unit_Price, "") – Ensures calculation only when quantity is provided.
• Status Color Code (for conditional formatting): Used to flag orders based on urgency or status (e.g., red for “Cancelled,” yellow for “Pending”).
• Auto-Generate Order ID: Use =CONCATENATE("ORD-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1, "0000")) – Dynamically creates unique IDs.
• Daily Total Orders: In the dashboard, use =COUNTIFS(Date_Column, TODAY(), Order_Status_Column, "<>Cancelled") to count active daily orders.

Conditional Formatting

• Status Highlighting:
  • Red: “Cancelled” (background red)
  • Yellow: “Pending” (light yellow)
  • Green: “Delivered” (light green)
• Aging Alert: If an order is "Processing" and older than 3 days, highlight in orange.
• High-Value Orders: Orders with Total Amount > £1000 get a bold border and dark blue background.
