Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy
The template uses several Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and reduce manual work:=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY-MM-DD")– For auto-filling the Last Updated field.=IF(AND([@Status]="Delivered", [@Delivery Deadline] <= TODAY()), "On Time", IF([@Status]="Delivered", "Late", IF(TODAY() > [@Delivery Deadline], "Overdue", "")))– In the SLA Breach Alert column to flag overdue or late deliveries.=CONCATENATE("ORD-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000000"))– Auto-generates unique Order IDs based on row number (row 2 = ORD-000123).=COUNTIFS($C$2:$C$156, "TechFlow Inc", $F$2:$F$156, "Delivered")– Used in the Dashboard for client-specific delivery counts.=SUMIFS([Order Value ($)], [Payment Status], "Paid in Full")– Calculates total revenue from fully paid orders on the Dashboard.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and highlight critical information, the following rules are applied:- Status Column: Color-coded cells (Green = Delivered, Yellow = In Progress, Red = Overdue or Cancelled).
- Delivery Deadline: If today’s date is past the deadline and status ≠ "Delivered", cell background turns bright red.
- Order Value: Top 10% of orders are highlighted in gold for priority attention.
- Last Updated: Cells with changes made within the last 24 hours flash cyan to indicate fresh updates.
