Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to automate calculations and ensure real-time updates:

On-Time Delivery Rate:
=IF(SUMIFS(ShipmentLog!$H:$H, ShipmentLog!$G:$G, "Delivered", ShipmentLog!$F:$F, "<="&Dashboard!B2) > 0, SUMIFS(ShipmentLog!$H:$H, ShipmentLog!$G:$G, "Delivered", ShipmentLog!$F:$F, "<="&Dashboard!B2) / COUNTIF(ShipmentLog!$G:$G, "Delivered"), 0)
Delivery Status Indicator:
=IF(ISBLANK(ShipmentLog!E2), "Pending", IF(ShipmentLog!E2 <= ShipmentLog!D2, "On Time", "Delayed"))
Inventory Alert (Low Stock):
=IF(InventoryStatus!D2 < InventoryStatus!E2, "Reorder Needed", "")
Average Freight Cost per Carrier:
=AVERAGEIFS(ShipmentLog!$I:$I, ShipmentLog!$G:$G, CarrierPerformance!A2)
Monthly KPIs in Dashboard (e.g., On-Time Rate):
=ROUND(SUMIFS(ShipmentLog!$H:$H, ShipmentLog!$F:$F, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0), ShipmentLog!$F:$F, ">="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)) / COUNTIF(ShipmentLog!$G:$G, "Delivered"), 2)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Delayed Shipments: Highlight rows in Shipment Log where Actual Delivery Date > Delivery Deadline (red fill, bold text).
Low Inventory: Apply a yellow highlight to cells in the "Current Stock Level" column if below the Reorder Point.
Satisfaction Scores: Color scale gradient on Carrier Performance (green: 4–5, yellow: 3, red: 1–2).
On-Time Delivery Rate: Use data bars in Dashboard for visual trend comparison across carriers.

User Instructions

Data Entry: Use the "Data Input & Validation" sheet to enter new shipment details with dropdowns to maintain consistency.
Update Monthly: At the start of each month, update the “Current Month” field on the Dashboard (cell B2) for accurate reporting.
Refresh Data: Press F9 or go to Data → Refresh All to recalculate formulas and charts after inputting data.
Export Reports: Use the “Dashboard” tab as a printable report. Click File → Export → PDF for sharing with executives.
Safety Tip: Never delete or rename sheets. Always save a backup before making major changes to formulas.
