Expected delivery date based on logistics planning.

Data Entry & Formulas Required

The template includes the following dynamic formulas:

• =TODAY(): Automatically populates today's date in the "Date Ordered" column when new entries are made.
• =IF(AND(Delivery_Date <> "", TODAY() > Delivery_Date), "Late", IF(Delivery_Date = "", "Pending", "On Time")): Flags delivery status based on current date and expected delivery.
• =SUMIFS(Sales_Amount_Column, Product_Column, "Product A"): Used in the Monthly Summary sheet to aggregate sales by product.
• =VLOOKUP(Order_ID, Logistics_Schedule!A:E, 3, FALSE): Retrieves assigned carrier and shipment mode for each order from the Logistics Schedule sheet.
• =ABS((Forecasted_Sales - Actual_Sales) / Forecasted_Sales) * 100: Calculates percentage variance in the Forecast vs Actual sheet.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity, the template applies these conditional formatting rules:

• Overdue Deliveries: If delivery date is past and status is "Late", cells turn bright red with bold text.
• High Volume Orders: Orders exceeding $50,000 are highlighted in gold.
• Sales Growth Trend: Cells in the "Monthly Change %" column use data bars to visualize growth or decline over time.
• Variance Alerts: Variance percentages above 15% are marked with a yellow background; above 25%, red.
