Formulas and Calculations
- Pending Deliveries Count: =COUNTIF('Delivery Schedule'!F:F, "Scheduled") + COUNTIF('Delivery Schedule'!F:F, "In Transit")
- Daily Delivery Volume: =SUMIFS('Delivery Schedule'!E:E, 'Delivery Schedule'!B:B, DATE(2024,MAY,DAY))
- On-Time Delivery Rate: =COUNTIF('Delivery Schedule'!F:F, "Delivered") / COUNTA('Delivery Schedule'!F:F)
- Inventory Health Score: =IF(AVERAGE(Inventory Status!D:D) > 0.8 * AVERAGE(Inventory Status!E:E), "Optimal", IF(AVERAGE(Inventory Status!D:D) < 0.5 * AVERAGE(Inventory Status!E:E), "Critical", "Warning"))
- Fuel Efficiency (Liters per km): =ROUND('Transportation Log'!F2 / 'Transportation Log'!G2, 3)
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Column: Use color-coded icons (green check for Delivered, yellow clock for In Transit, red X for Delayed).
- Inventory Levels: Highlight cells where Current Stock Level ≤ Reorder Point in red.
- Fuel Efficiency: Apply data bars showing lower values (more efficient) in green and higher values (inefficient) in red.
- Daily Delivery Volume: Use heat map shading based on daily volume compared to monthly average.
