SHEET NAME: Logistics Weekly Plan (Main Sheet)

TABLE STRUCTURE AND COLUMN LAYOUT

The main worksheet is divided into three primary sections: Weekly Schedule Table, Resource Allocation Panel, and Performance Dashboard (Summary). All data are organized in structured tables with named ranges for formula accuracy.

1. Weekly Schedule Table (Rows: 15–25, Columns: A–H)

2. Resource Allocation Panel (Rows: 27–34, Columns: A–D)

This panel tracks driver availability, vehicle usage, and load capacity.

3. Performance Dashboard (Rows: 36–42, Columns: A–B)

This summary section provides high-level insights at a glance.

FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Auto-increment Delivery ID: Use =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") in cell A2, then drag down.
• Status Color Code (Conditional Logic): Formula: =IF(G2="Delivered","Green",IF(G2="Delayed","Red",IF(G2="In Transit","Yellow","Gray")))
• On-Time Rate: =COUNTIFS(G:G,"Delivered") / COUNTA(G:G) * 100
• Driver Utilization: =SUMIF(F:F,F2,H:H)/Total_Hours (example based on time logged)

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

• Status Column (G): Apply color scales: Green for "Delivered", Yellow for "In Transit", Red for "Delayed".
• Utilization Rate (C): Use data bars to visualize load levels; colors change from green (under 70%) to red (over 90%).
