Formulas Required

To maintain accuracy and automation, the following formulas are implemented:

• Fulfillment Time (Days): =IF(Actual Ship Date<>"", Actual Ship Date - Date Received, "Pending")
• KPI Flag: =IF(OR(Fulfillment Time > 3, Delivery Status = "Late"), "Critical", "")
• Total Orders This Week: In the dashboard: =COUNTA(Orders!A2:A100)
• On-Time Delivery Rate: In the dashboard: =COUNTIF(Orders!K2:K100, "On-Time") / COUNTA(Orders!K2:K100)
• Average Fulfillment Time: In the dashboard: =AVERAGEIF(Orders!L2:L100, "<>Pending", Orders!L2:L100)
• Total Revenue: In the dashboard: =SUM(Orders!E2:E100)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical issues, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Critical KPI Flag: Red background with white text for any row where KPI Flag = "Critical".
• Fulfillment Time > 3 Days: Orange fill to highlight orders taking longer than expected.
• Delivery Status “Late” or “Delayed”: Red font and bold text for immediate visibility.
• KPI Dashboard Cells: Color scales applied to KPIs (e.g., green for high performance, red for low).
