Formulas Required
To maintain dynamic functionality and automate tracking:
- Status Calculation: Use
=IF(ActualDeliveryDate="", IF(TODAY() > ExpectedDeliveryDate, "Delayed", "In Transit"), "Delivered") - Delivery Status (On Time/Late):
=IF(ISBLANK(ActualDeliveryDate), "", IF(ActualDeliveryDate <= ExpectedDeliveryDate, "On Time", "Late")) - Days Overdue:
=IF(DeliveryStatus="Late", ActualDeliveryDate - ExpectedDeliveryDate, 0) - Total Late Orders Count (Dashboard):
=COUNTIFS(StatusRange, "Delivered", DeliveryStatusRange, "Late") - On-Time Delivery Rate:
=1 - (Count of Late Orders / Total Delivered Orders)
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight critical issues:
- Status Column: Color-code based on status: Red for "Cancelled", Orange for "Delayed", Green for "Delivered".
- Delivery Status: Highlight “Late” entries in red, “On Time” in green.
- Date Columns: Apply date-based formatting—yellow highlight if Expected Delivery Date is within 3 days of today.
- Bottleneck Flag: Show row in bold with a yellow background if flagged as "Yes".
