2. Delivery Log – Core operational sheet tracking every delivery including date, route details, client info, and service fees.
3. Expense Tracker – Personal finance log for recording all logistics-related expenditures (fuel, tolls, vehicle maintenance).
4. Revenue Summary – Aggregates income data by client or route type; used for forecasting and profitability analysis.
5. Settings & Constants – Contains reference values like fuel price per gallon, daily mileage rate, tax percentage, etc., to be used in formulas across sheets.

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas across sheets to automate calculations:

In Overview Dashboard:
- =SUMIF(Delivery Log!G:G, ">=0", Delivery Log!G:G) → Total Revenue
- =SUM(Expense Tracker!D:D) → Total Expenses
- =(Total Revenue - Total Expenses) / Total Revenue * 100 → Profit Margin (%)
In Delivery Log:
- =ROUND(F2 * Settings!B2, 2) → Auto-calculated fuel cost based on distance and rate (from Settings sheet).
In Expense Tracker:
- =IF(E2<>"", VLOOKUP(E2, Delivery Log!$B:$H, 7, FALSE), "") → Auto-populates delivery fee if Route ID is linked.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Delivery Status: Green for "Delivered", Yellow for "In Transit", Red for "Pending".
Expenses above $100: Highlighted in red to flag high-cost items.
Negative Profit Margin: Background turns red on the dashboard if expenses exceed revenue.
Dates within next 7 days: Automatically highlighted in blue for upcoming deliveries.
