Formulas Required
The template includes dynamic formulas to automate analysis and ensure data integrity:
- Total Invoice Amount: = Freight Cost + Fuel Surcharge + Handling Fees (Auto-calculated)
- Delivery Delay (Days): = IF(On-Time Delivery Indicator="No", Delivery Date - Expected Delivery Date, 0)
- Average Freight Cost by Carrier: = AVERAGEIF(Carrier Name column, "Carrier X", Freight Cost column)
- On-Time Rate %: = COUNTIF(On-Time Delivery Indicator, "Yes") / COUNTA(Invoice ID) * 100
- Variance from Budget: = (Total Invoice Amount - Budgeted Cost) / Budgeted Cost * 100
Conditional Formatting
To enhance data visibility and highlight critical issues, the template uses conditional formatting rules:
- Overdue Invoices: Red fill for "Invoice Status" = "Overdue"
- Late Deliveries: Orange highlight for Delivery Delay > 0 days
- Critical Cost Overruns: Green text and bold if variance exceeds +10% of budget
- Top Performers: Light green background for carriers with on-time rate > 95%
