=IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS(I:I,H:H,"Delayed"),0)Calculates average delay only for delayed tasks. - Status Indicator (Color Logic):
Formula used in conditional formatting to highlight late tasks:
=AND(H2="In Transit", E2 - Task ID Auto-increment:
Use a simple formula in A2:
=IF(B2<>"", "DEL"&TEXT(MAX(A:A)+1,"000"), "")(assuming text starts at A1).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Task Status Colors:
- "Completed": Green background, white text.
- "In Transit": Yellow background; applies if current time is past scheduled start.
- "Delayed": Red background with bold red text (triggered when actual arrival > estimated).
- On-Time Rate Visual: Color scale applied to cell L2: Green for ≥90%, yellow for 75–89%, red below 75%.
- Inventory Alerts: If K column value < 10 (threshold), apply red fill and bold text to flag low stock.
