Formulas Required

• Delivery Performance Rate: =COUNTIF(Status, "Delivered") / COUNTA(Order ID) – Calculates percentage of successfully delivered orders.
• Average Processing Time (Days): =AVERAGE(IF((Status="Delivered") + (Status="Shipped"), Actual Delivery Date - Date Placed)) – Measures average time from order placement to delivery.
• On-Time Delivery Rate: =SUMPRODUCT((Actual Delivery Date <= Expected Delivery Date) * (Status="Delivered")) / COUNTIF(Status, "Delivered")
