Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas for automation:

Status Calculation: =IF([@Status]="Delivered", "Completed", IF([@Required Delivery Date] <= TODAY(), "Overdue", IF([@Planned Shipment Date] <= TODAY(), "On Track", "Future")))
Delay Days: =IF(AND([@Status]="Delayed", [@Required Delivery Date]


        Remaining Transit Time: 
            =MAX(0, [@Estimated Transit Time (Days)] - (TODAY()-[@Planned Shipment Date]))
        
        KPIs in Planning View: Use SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and AVERAGEIFS to calculate:
            • On-time delivery rate
            • Average delay duration
            • Orders by priority level or carrier



    Conditional Formatting
    To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical events:
    
        Overdue Orders: Red fill with white text (if Required Delivery Date is past today).
        Pending Shipments: Orange highlight for orders where shipment date is within 2 days.
        High Priority Orders: Yellow border and bold text.
        Status Heatmap: Color scale across the Status column (e.g., green = Delivered, red = Delayed).
