Engineered for scalability, accuracy, and real-time visibility, this Order Tracker serves as a centralized hub for tracking every stage of the order lifecycle—from initial placement to final delivery—while simultaneously measuring critical performance indicators (KPIs) across departments and business units.

Sheet Names

• 1. Order Tracker (Main): Central table with all order data and dynamic KPIs.

Table Structures

The primary data structure is a dynamic Excel Table (structured references) named tblOrders, located on the "Order Tracker" sheet. This table expands automatically as new orders are added, ensuring seamless integration with formulas and charts.

Columns and Data Types (Order Tracker Sheet)

• Lead Time (Days): =IF([Actual Delivery Date]="", DATEDIF([Date Placed], TODAY(), "D"), DATEDIF([Date Placed], [Actual Delivery Date], "D"))
• On-Time Rate KPI (Dashboard): =COUNTIFS(tblOrders[Delivery Status KPI], "On Time") / COUNTA(tblOrders[Order ID])
