Table Structures & Columns (Orders Master Sheet)

| Student/Client ID | Text (Lookup) | <Reference to a unique ID from the User/Student Profile Lookup sheet. Ensures consistent tracking. |
| Name of Student | Text | Name of the learner or educational institution placing the order. |
| Program Type | <List (Data Validation) | |

Conditional Formatting Rules

- Overdue Orders: Highlight any row where the Status ≠ "Completed" and Expected End Date is before today. Use conditional formatting with formula:
=AND([@[Status]]<>"Completed", [@[Expected End Date]] - High Priority Orders: Apply bold font and yellow fill for "Urgent" priority.
- Balances Due: Red text for positive balance due; green if paid in full.
User Instructions

- Data Entry: Add new orders in the Orders Master sheet. Use dropdowns for consistent data input.
- Status Updates: When an order status changes, update the Status column manually or use a macro (optional).
- Premium Tracking: Record payments in the Paid Amount column; Balance Due recalculates automatically.
- Dashboard Review: Check the Dashboard Summary weekly for KPIs like total orders, revenue generated, overdue items, and completion rate.
- Data Safety: Do not delete or edit column headers. Use filters to sort and analyze data without breaking formulas.
