Table Structure: Orders Tracker (Primary Sheet)

The Orders Tracker is designed as a dynamic table with standardized columns to ensure consistency across all entries. This structured layout supports both digital tracking and high-quality printing.

Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of Excel functions to ensure dynamic, real-time data processing:

• Delivery Time (Days): =IF(ActualDeliveryDate<>"", ActualDeliveryDate - DateReceived, "")
• KPI Status: =IF(OR(Status="Completed", Status="Delayed"), IF(DeliveryTime <= 7, "On Track", "Delayed"), "In Progress") (Assumes target delivery is 7 days or less.)
• Order Count by Status: =COUNTIF(StatusColumn, "Completed") in KPI Dashboard
• Average Delivery Time: =AVERAGEIFS(DeliveryTimeColumn, StatusColumn, "Completed")

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and visual monitoring of performance, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Status Column: Color-coding based on status:
  • Green: Completed (✔)
  • Blue: In Progress (🔄)
  • Orange: On Hold (⏸)
  • Red: Delayed (⚠️)
• KPI Status:
  • Green background for "On Track"
  • Red background for "Delayed"
• Delivery Time (Days):
  • Green if ≤7 days
  • Amber if 8–14 days
  • Red if >14 days
• Dates Close to Deadline: Highlight rows where Planned Delivery Date is within 2 business days of today.
