Table Structures & Column Definitions

1. Goals Overview Sheet

2. Order Tracker Sheet

Formulas Required (Key Examples)

• Progress (%) in Goals Overview: `=IF(E3=0, 0, C3/E3)` where E3 is Target and C3 is Current Value.
• Date-based status tracking: `=IF(B2>=TODAY(), "In Progress", IF(B2>TODAY(), "Pending", "Completed"))` to auto-detect order status.
• Conditional coloring of goal progress: If progress is >90%, color in green; between 70–90%, yellow; <70%, red.
• Automatic goal status update: Use a combination of `=IF(F3="Completed", "Achieved", IF(F3="In Progress", "Active", "Pending"))` in the Status column.
• Order date difference (days to delivery): `=IF(G2="", "", G2 - H2)` to compute elapsed time.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Goal Progress: Apply green fill for progress ≥90%, yellow for 70–89%, red for <70%.
• Status Colors: Red if "Pending", Yellow if "In Progress", Green if "Completed".
• Overdue Orders: Highlight in red any order where the Expected Delivery Date is before today.
• Target Exceeded: If current value exceeds target, highlight row with a blue background.
