Table Structures
Sheet 1: Time Tracker (Daily Log)
This sheet captures granular time entries by date and logistics activity. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Date | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | The day on which the task was performed. | | Shipment ID | Text/String (Alphanumeric) | Unique identifier for each shipment. | | Activity Type | Dropdown List (From Data Reference Sheet) | E.g., "Loading", "Transit", "Customs Clearance", "Delivery Attempt" | | Start Time | Time (HH:MM) | Clock-in time of the activity. | | End Time | Time (HH:MM) | Clock-out time of the activity. | | Duration (hrs) | Formula-based (Time difference → decimal hours) | Automatically calculated using =IF(End>Start, End-Start, 1+End-Start)*24 | | Route / Location | Text/String / Dropdown | Destination or transit point (e.g., "Port of Miami – Warehouse B") | | Assigned Personnel | Text/String (or dropdown) | Name or ID of staff member responsible. | | Status | Dropdown List (From Data Reference) | E.g., "Completed", "Delayed", "In Progress" | | Notes | Text/Long-form field | Additional remarks about delays, incidents, etc. |Sheet 2: Summary View
This sheet aggregates data from the Time Tracker and presents key metrics in a user-friendly dashboard. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Shipment ID | Text/String (linked) | From Time Tracker. | | Route Name / Origin-Destination | Text/String (automated lookup) | Merged location data from tracker. | | Total Duration (hrs) | Formula-based sum of duration per shipment ID | =SUMIFS('Time Tracker'!F:F, 'Time Tracker'!B:B, B2) | | Average Duration per Activity Type | Formula-based average by activity type (PivotTable style) | Use AVERAGEIF or PivotTable. | | Number of Activities | Count of tasks per shipment ID or route | =COUNTIFS('Time Tracker'!B:B, B2) | | Status Summary (Count) | Count of completed/delayed/in-progress per status group | =COUNTIFS('Time Tracker'!G:G, "Completed", 'Time Tracker'!B:B, B2) | | On-Time Rate (%) | Formula: (Completed count / Total count) * 100 | =IF(H2=0, 0, G2/H2*100) | | Delayed Hours Total | Sum of durations where Status = "Delayed" | =SUMIFS('Time Tracker'!F:F, 'Time Tracker'!G:G, "Delayed", 'Time Tracker'!B:B, B2) |Sheet 3: Data Reference
A hidden (or protected) sheet housing standardized lists to ensure data integrity. | Category | List Items | |---------|------------| | Activity Type | Loading, Transit, Customs Clearance, Delivery Attempt, Inspection | | Status | Completed, Delayed, In Progress | | Route Names | Miami-Atlanta, Chicago-Los Angeles, New York-Toronto | | Personnel Roles | Driver A12345678901234567890 |Formulas Required
Key formulas used across sheets:- Duration (hrs) in Time Tracker:
=IF(End_Time > Start_Time, End_Time - Start_Time, 1 + End_Time - Start_Time) * 24 - Total Duration per Shipment:
=SUMIFS('Time Tracker'!$F:$F, 'Time Tracker'!$B:$B, SummaryView!A2) - On-Time Rate:
=IF(COUNTIFS('Time Tracker'!'G:G', "Completed", 'Time Tracker'!'B:B', A2)=0, 0, COUNTIFS('Time Tracker'!'G:G', "Completed", 'Time Tracker'!'B:B', A2) / COUNTIF('Time Tracker'!'B:B', A2)) - Delayed Hours:
=SUMIFS('Time Tracker'!F:F, 'Time Tracker'!G:G, "Delayed", 'Time Tracker'!B:B, A2)
Conditional Formatting
Enhances readability and highlights key performance indicators:- Red Highlight: Any row where Delayed Hours > 0, to immediately flag issues.
- Yellow Highlight: Cells with duration exceeding the average per activity type (using a dynamic threshold).
- Green Text: On-Time Rate ≥ 90% – indicates excellent performance.
- Data Bars: In summary view, apply horizontal data bars to visualize Total Duration across shipments.
