4. Forecast vs Actuals Comparison: Compares predicted sales volume (from planning) with actual sales for the month. Used to adjust future logistics capacity and inventory levels.
5. Performance Metrics & KPIs: A dynamic summary of key performance indicators including on-time delivery rate, order accuracy, average delivery time, and warehouse turnover.

Units Sold	Numeric (Integer)	Number of units ordered per transaction. Must be ≥ 1.
Selling Price per Unit	Money (USD or local currency)	Price charged to the customer. Auto-calculates revenue.

Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to automate data processing and reduce manual entry errors:

Total Revenue (Column G): =D2*E2
Month Extraction (from Date): =TEXT(A2,"MMMM") — extracts month name for grouping.
Duplicate Order ID Check: Conditional validation using data validation rule to prevent duplicate entries.
Sales by Region (Monthly Summary Sheet): Formula: =SUMIF('Detailed Sales Log'!D:D, B2, 'Detailed Sales Log'!G:G)
On-Time Delivery Rate: On the KPI sheet: =COUNTIF('Logistics & Delivery Tracking'!K:K,"Delivered")/COUNTA('Logistics & Delivery Tracking'!K:K)
Forecast vs Actual Variance: Formula in Forecast vs Actuals sheet: =Actual_Sales - Forecasted_Sales, with percentage variance calculated as =(Actual - Forecast)/Forecast.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data visualization and highlight critical issues:

Late Deliveries: Apply red fill to any row where "Order Status" is "Late".
High Revenue Orders (> $10,000): Light green background to flag large-volume sales for priority logistics handling.
Average Delivery Time (Days) > 7: Amber fill if delivery time exceeds standard threshold.
Sales Below Target: Highlight cells in the "Monthly Sales Summary" sheet in red if actual sales fall below set monthly targets.
