Table Structures and Columns
The main tracker (Sheet 1) is structured as a relational database with the following core table structure:
| Column Name | Data Type/Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Order ID | Text (Unique Key) | A unique identifier for each order (e.g., PO-2024-0315). |

| Due Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Expected delivery or completion date. |
| Vendor Name | Text (Dropdown List) | Name of the supplier or service provider; linked to vendor compliance data. |
| Item/Service Description | Text (Up to 255 chars) | Description of product or service ordered. |
| Category | Text (Dropdown: IT, HR, Facilities, Procurement, Legal) | Categorization for reporting and compliance tracking. |
| Status | Text (Dropdown: Draft, Approved, In Transit, Delivered/Received, Closed) | Current lifecycle stage of the order. |
| Compliance Status | Status Indicator (e.g., Compliant / Non-Compliant / Pending) | Automated evaluation based on checklist completion and regulatory requirements. |
| Risk Level | Text (Dropdown: Low, Medium, High) | Risk classification based on category, vendor history, and regulatory sensitivity. |
| Compliance Deadline | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | The deadline by which all compliance documentation must be submitted. |
| Documentation Attached? | Yes/No (Checkbox or Boolean) | Indicator to confirm if required compliance documents (e.g., contracts, certifications) are attached. |
Formulas Required
- =IF(AND([@Compliance Deadline]<TODAY(), [@Documentation Attached?]="No"), "Overdue - Missing Docs", IF([@Documentation Attached?]="Yes", "Compliant", "Pending")): Dynamically assesses compliance status based on deadlines and document submission.
- =IF([@Due Date] < TODAY(), "Delayed", IF([@Due Date] = TODAY(), "Due Today", IF([@Due Date] - TODAY() < 7, "Approaching", "On Track")): Tracks delivery timeline health.
- =VLOOKUP([@Vendor Name], 'Vendor Compliance Scorecard'!A:D, 4, FALSE): Pulls in vendor risk scores from the scorecard sheet for analysis.
- =COUNTIFS(Status,"Delivered/Received", Compliant,"Compliant"): Used in the dashboard to count fully compliant completed orders.

Apply these rules across the Main Tracker sheet to enhance data visibility:
- Overdue Compliance Deadline (Red Fill): If "Compliance Deadline" is before today and "Documentation Attached?" = No.
- Approaching Due Date (Yellow Fill): If "Due Date" is within 7 days from today and status ≠ Delivered.
- Risk Level Highlighting: Red for High Risk, Orange for Medium, Green for Low.
- Compliance Status Colors: Green (Compliant), Yellow (Pending), Red (Non-Compliant).
