Example Rows (Sheet 3: Shipment Tracking Log)    • Use conditional formatting to highlight overdue shipments (green = on time, yellow = delayed by 1–3 days, red = delayed >3 days).    • Highlight rows where SLA is "Gold" and delivery is late—these require immediate attention.    • Apply data bars to the "Transit Time (Days)" column to visualize delivery speed at a glance.
