Formulas and Calculations

The template integrates advanced Excel formulas for dynamic logistics planning:

Auto-Generate Shipment ID: =CONCATENATE("LGP-", TEXT(TODAY(), "YYYYMMDD"), "-", TEXT(ROWS(A$2:A2), "000"))
Status Alert Indicator: =IF([@Status]="Delivered", "✓", IF([@Delivery Date] <= TODAY(), "⚠️", ""))
Overdue Shipments Count: =COUNTIFS(Status_Column, "<>Delivered", Delivery_Date_Column, "<=" & TODAY())
Route Capacity Utilization (Resource Allocation): =SUMIFS(Shipment_Weight_Column, Route_ID_Column, [selected_route]) / Vehicle_Capacity
Delivery Performance Rate (Schedule Overview): =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Delivered") / COUNTA(Status_Column)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Past Due Deliveries: Highlight rows in red if Delivery Date is before today and Status ≠ Delivered.
High Priority Shipments: Apply yellow background with bold text for "High" or "Critical" priority levels.
Over Capacity Routes: Color cells orange when route weight exceeds 90% of vehicle capacity (threshold-based).
Status Progression: Use green checkmarks (✓) for Delivered, amber triangles (⚠️) for overdue, red crosses (✗) for delayed.
